Registered Veterinary Technician

About the Role

You'll work at the top of your scope as an RVT 80% of the time, delivering exceptional patient care and assisting veterinarians with medical, surgical, and dental procedures. The remaining 20% is dedicated to management and operational leadership — a chance to shape team culture, inspire colleagues, and drive operational excellence without leaving clinical work entirely behind.

This is a hybrid clinical-leadership opportunity designed for an experienced RVT who's ready to step into a more strategic role. You'll manage inventory, budgets, and financial aspects of the practice while maintaining the clinical excellence that makes North Vancouver Pet Hospital stand out. The team values communication, respect, and collaborative problem-solving, and they're flexible about scheduling — whether you need full-time or part-time hours, they'll work with you to find the right fit.
