Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) - Emergency Overnight - Bellevue Veterinary Emergency + Specialty

Quality medicine starts with happy team members. We love pets and people. Bellevue Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital was established with one goal in mind: to be there for pets and their people. We know emergency visits aren't planned and navigating specialty care can be overwhelming. We are looking for dedicated Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) to join our growing team and help us implement people-centric processes to create an environment where pets receive world-class care and pet parents receive clarity and compassion at every step.

About the role

We believe learning is a life-long commitment and help our team members grow by providing resources and support to pursue new skills and credentials.

Our commitment to pets extends beyond our hospital walls. We regularly implement charity drives to support local shelters and partner with World Vets to give back to communities globally. Each year, we send a group of doctors and support staff abroad to help pets in need, including opening the first and only veterinary clinic in the Galapagos in 2021.
