Registered Veterinary Technician

About the Role

Here's what makes this opportunity different: you'll spend 75% of your time doing what you love—clinical RVT work in a fast-paced urgent care and emergency environment—and 25% focused on management and operational leadership. This isn't a typical "promoted out of the clinic" scenario; it's a genuine hybrid role designed for an RVT who thrives leading others while staying connected to patient care. You'll shape team culture, inspire your peers, and drive operational excellence without completely leaving the bedside.

Quinte Regional Pet Hospital sits minutes from the scenic Bay of Quinte in Belleville, ON, offering both the intensity of emergency medicine and access to a community with strong outdoor recreation, local dining, and waterfront lifestyle appeal. The team values communication, respect, and clinical excellence—and they're serious about work-life balance, offering flexibility whether you prefer full-time or part-time schedules.
