Licensed Veterinary Technician
About The Position
VetEvolve is a people-first organization that provides industry know-how and reliable support to veterinary teams, enabling them to deliver exceptional patient care. We focus on creating a genuine, supportive, people-focused environment that prioritizes each individual to ensure they are achieving their career goals and are fulfilled personally, professionally, and financially. Our culture is driven by the core values Serve, Evolve, and Trust, and every day our mission is to make things better for veterinary professionals. At Fairfax Animal Hospital, we believe Licensed Veterinary Technicians should be trusted, respected, and utilized to the full extent of their training, not just asked to “help hold.” We’re a busy, high-performing 2.5 doctor general practice/urgent care hospital that practices high-quality medicine while still managing to laugh, support each other, and keep the day moving when things get a little chaotic (because, well, veterinary med). We’re looking for an LVT who is skilled, collaborative, adaptable, and enjoys being part of a genuinely supportive team. Someone who loves patient care, communicates well, and can balance professionalism with personality. We are currently hiring for full-time or part-time positions with competitive pay based on experience and opportunities for growth.
