Veterinary Technician

South Shores Animal Hospital is adding another Licensed Veterinary Technician to our crew in Las Vegas, NV. If you're an LVT who wants to use your full skill set; from client consults to surgery; with a team that's got your back, let's talk.

What you'll do here

You won't be stuck in one corner of the hospital. Your day mixes hands on patient care with direct client interaction.

• Coordinate and carry out treatment plans for our patients.
• Assist doctors during exams and prepare patients for surgery.
• Handle anesthetic induction and monitoring.
• Work alongside our doctors to complete dental procedures.
• Talk with clients. You'll explain treatments, answer their questions, and provide clear education with a compassionate touch.

The schedule & pay

This is a full time role on a 4/10 schedule. That means four ten hour days each week. You'll need to be available for rotating Saturdays.

The pay range is $25 to $29 per hour. The specific rate depends on factors like your relevant education, training, experience, and geographic location where the work is performed.

A $2000 sign on bonus is part of the package.

Benefits we offer

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance. There's an HSA option, too.
• Life and disability insurance.
• A 401k plan.
• An Employee Assistance Program.
• Paid time off following site policy and applicable law.
• A yearly continuing education allowance; up to $1,000 based on how long you've been here.
• A nice discount on care for your own pets.

The skills you need

First thing: you must have a current Licensed Veterinary Technician license for the state of Nevada.

We need someone proficient in core technical skills. That includes venipuncture and placing IV catheters, administering injections, processing labs in house (including microscopic evaluation), and managing anesthetic induction and monitoring.

Beyond the license, we're looking for a certain approach. You communicate well, whether it's with a worried pet owner or a teammate. You collaborate easily and bring a positive, proactive attitude to your work. This role fits both seasoned LVTs and those early in their career ready to dive in.
