Veterinary Technician (Casual Position)

About this role

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.
