About the role

Working in an urgent care environment is as exhilarating as running a million miles an hour with sand between your paws. PetMedic Urgent Care Vet Clinic is looking to add compassionate and skilled Lead Veterinary Technician to our team.

At PetMedic, you can help shape the exciting new world of veterinary urgent care. Our fast-paced environment means you’ll do something different every day, but with more regularity and stability than an emergency setting. It’s like hitting the sweet spot with a tail-thumping belly rub that never ends – and that’s just the beginning. As part of our team, you’ll work with the latest technology, stay ahead using educational training, and partner with experienced doctors to deliver the highest quality of care to the pet patients we all love.
