We are currently looking for a full-time RVT that is interested in both general practice and urgent care work. This is a great position for someone who enjoys the long-term relationships, predictability, and stability that the day offers, yet the challenges and variety of after-hours emergency medicine and surgery. Our practice is currently open Mon-Fri 8 am-9 pm, Sat 8 am-5 pm, Sun 9 am-1 pm. Scheduling includes 4, 10 hour shifts a week; weekend, holiday and overnight rotations are mandatory. We offer flexibility with scheduling based on your availability.
Our 10 doctor, small animal and exotic practice is located in Greeley, Colorado and offers a great view of the mountains and is just a short drive to your mountainous escape or a night out in the big city of Denver. The technicians are utilized by leveraging the doctors and are doing the skills they were taught in school. We keep many of our medical and surgical cases in-house, which allows for better continuity of care. However, we also have ready access to traveling specialists and specialty hospitals for those cases that need to be transferred for more extensive treatment and care. Our practice (private, non-corporate) encourages growth and development of our technicians including case discussion, CE opportunities, the usage of high-tech equipment, and time off for continued learning opportunities. We support technicians who want to advance their skills and pursue their specialty. We are always open to new ideas for providing top-notch care to the pets in our community.
Our 10,000 sq ft building is beautifully functional for our clients and team. We have ultrasound, double dental suites which include digital dental x-ray, surgical and therapeutic laser, rehabilitation, alternative medicine such as acupuncture, VOM, and massage, exotic pet/avian care, rhinoscopy, endoscopy, laparoscopy, digital radiography, a fully equipped lab to run samples immediately, and a full pharmacy. Our technicians enjoy all the usual benefits (Health insurance, CE, PTO, retirement plan, uniform allowance, and an employee pet discount program), but our practice offers so much more than can be detailed here. The ability to contribute to a hospital that practices high-quality veterinary medicine with a focus on great employee culture, the resources for growth and challenge, flexible scheduling and a unique caseload make West Ridge Animal Hospital a great place to work!
If you’re a team-oriented, motivated, experienced technician who is looking for a career opportunity where you can form trust-based relationships with clients and exemplify great patient care knowing that you are making a tangible difference in the lives of pets in our community, then we want to hear from you!
