Veterinary Technician (Casual Position)

Job Description

Job Description

This Is Not a Traditional Technician Role

We are hiring technicians who want to practice at the top of their scope in a fast-paced urgent care environment.

At Galaxy Vets, technicians are clinical leaders, not assistants to assistants. You are a medical decision-support partner to the DVM and a driver of patient care standards.

If you’re looking for a place where your skills are underutilized, this isn’t it.

If you want autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to help build a sustainable veterinary business, then keep reading.

What Makes This Role Different

Each shift, you are a key clinical pillar.

You:

• Lead anesthesia and patient monitoring
• Perform venipuncture and place IV catheters confidently
• Initiate and manage fluid therapy
• Execute radiology safely and efficiently
• Monitor hospitalized patients and escalate concerns
• Educate clients clearly and compassionately
• Support surgical flow and sterile technique
• Help refine clinical processes and standards

You are empowered to practice to the full extent of your training and registration.

What We’re Looking For

• Experienced Veterinary Technicians
• Minimum 1–2 years of direct patient care experience preferred
• Strong anesthesia, catheter placement, and diagnostic support skills
• Confidence in urgent or high-pressure situations
• Excellent client communication
• A teammate who takes initiative and thinks critically
• Evening/weekend/holiday availability required (we believe in fair rotation)
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and work in a clinical environment, including bending, standing, stooping, kneeling, moving from room to room, and sitting; may be required to walk or stand for extended periods of time

Most importantly: someone who believes their role impacts the success of the entire hospital.

Our Core Values (And Yes, We Mean Them)

Owner’s Mindset – We act like this is our business. Because it is.
Sees the Big Picture – We are part of a larger network, not just one clinic.
Always Evolving – We always look for growth opportunities; both personally and professionally
Lead with Integrity – Holding ourselves, and each other, accountable to do the right thing even when nobody’s watching
Sense of Humor – We support each other, celebrate wins, and keep perspective when things get busy

The Essentials

• $18-$22/hour (based on experience, and involvement with the bigger picture)
• This is a casual position to start; hours scheduled as needed
• Possibility to grow with the company as our business continues to evolve
• Great for someone looking for a side gig; shifts starting at 4pm Mon-Fri and 12pm on Sat/Sun

If you’re ready to practice high-level medicine while helping build something meaningful, we would love to meet you.
