Encore Vet Group • Greenville, NC

48d

About The Position

At Animal Care of Greenville, every team member plays a vital part in delivering exceptional pet care. Our RVTs don't just "assist," they bring high level clinical skill, critical thinking, and leadership to the exam room, surgical suite, lab, and hospital floor. We're looking for a Full-Time Credentialed Veterinary Technician who wants to thrive in a full-service veterinary hospital, work with a fun, dedicated team, and continue growing professionally. Why You'll Love Us: Dynamic, supportive culture - We work hard and laugh harder. Team camaraderie, peer mentorship, and mutual respect are core. Wide scope of cases - From routine wellness to advanced surgery and exotic protocols, your skills will be utilized and challenged. True Technician empowerment - We believe in the value of our technicians. You'll lead procedures, mentor others, and contribute to care plans. Growth oriented environment - Whether you're interested in specialty training (anesthesia, dentistry, exotics, etc.) or leadership, we'll support your path. Meaningful rescue partnerships - We're proud to support local rescue organizations and give pets second chances. You'll be part of the mission. You're a Great Fit If... You are a currently credentialed/registered veterinary technician (RVT) in North Carolina (or able/willing to transfer). You bring strong clinical skills, initiative, and confidence - not just "helping" but leading in patient care. You value collaboration and believe every role contributes to great outcomes and great care takes teamwork. You communicate clearly and compassionately - both with pet parents and the internal care team. You love variety, learning new techniques, and aren't afraid of occasional late shifts or high-intensity days. You believe the kennel attendant, the assistant, the technician and the doctor all matter in delivering exceptional care (and you'll back that up).
