Practice for this role

About the role

The Licensed Veterinary Technician will act as a clinical partner to veterinarians by performing anesthesia, surgical assistance, and diagnostic testing. They are also responsible for managing hospitalized patients, educating clients, and mentoring junior team members.

Who is VetEvolve?

VetEvolve is a network of veterinary practices built to support the people delivering care and the practices they lead. We combine clinical insight with operational strength to give our teams the support, tools, and structure they need to thrive, without losing what makes each practice unique. We are intentionally focused on growth, not as an end in itself, but as a way to strengthen our practices, expand access to care, and create more opportunities for our teams.

Guided by our values

Care First. Better Together. Grow Forward. Own It. We create an environment where veterinary professionals can do their best work, build meaningful careers, and deliver exceptional care. Growth with intention. Care without compromise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Licensed veterinary technician (Lvt)

Use your license. Love your team. Practice great medicine.

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.

If you’re searching for a clinic where

  • your skills are valued,
  • your input matters,
  • your coworkers actually help each other,
  • and the culture is positive without being overly corporate…

…you may fit in very well here.

We are currently hiring for full-time or part-time positions with competitive pay based on experience and opportunities for growth.

What you’ll do

  • Induce and monitor anesthesia and perform endotracheal intubation

  • Build strong relationships with clients through compassion and communication
  • Leadership & teamwork
  • Support and mentor assistants and newer team members
  • Help improve workflow and patient care processes

What our team is like

  • We work hard, move fast, and genuinely care about doing good medicine and each other. We also believe:
  • good teams communicate well
  • kindness matters
  • Inclusivity is important
  • humor helps
  • and nobody should dread coming to work every day

We are proud of the culture we’ve built and are intentional about hiring people who contribute positively to it.

Our ideal candidate is someone who

  • enjoys staying busy
  • keeps a sense of humor on tough days
  • treats coworkers with respect

Bonus points if you can place a catheter while answering questions and mentally planning your lunch order.

  • Physical requirements
  • Ability to frequently lift and/or carry up to 50 lbs
  • Ability to stand, walk, bend, and move throughout the workday

Veterinary medicine is demanding, rewarding, unpredictable, and occasionally powered entirely by caffeine and teamwork.

We’re looking for someone who wants to practice great medicine, continue growing their skills, and be part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

If that sounds like your kind of environment, we’d love to meet you.
