Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG)·Burlington, Vermont
As a per diem Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician, you will collaborate with doctors to deliver gold standard care across a wide range of emergency cases, handling everything from triage and treatments to advanced diagnostics and anesthesia. Key duties involve providing direct nursing care, emotional support to pet parents, performing advanced technical procedures, and ensuring seamless communication within the team.
In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!
At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve.
This also means saying yes to creating the greatest experience possible for our VEGgies. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career. And yes to making an impact here in ways you never thought possible.
VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.
