- Jump into performance coaching and career development conversations

- Partner with the Hospital Manager and doctors on budgeting, inventory, and smart cost controls

- Be the go-to problem-solver for staff and clients alike

- Champion our positive, drama-free culture and help us get even better every day

- Handle client concerns with grace and turn them into raving fans

Who You Are:

- Virginia Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) strongly preferred OR a highly experienced veterinary assistant with proven leadership skills

- Natural leader who leads by example and lifts everyone up

- Organized, communicative, and cool under pressure

- Passionate about mentorship and watching your team grow

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance

- 401(k) with employer match + profit-sharing potential

- Discounted pet care for your own crew

- Uniform allowance

- Paid CE allowance + dedicated CE days

- Paid vacation + sick leave

If you’re an LVT who’s been dreaming of a role where you can stay clinical, lead an incredible team, and help shape the future of a thriving practice — this is it!
