Registered Veterinary Technician

Western Veterinary Partners is seeking experienced Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVT) to join our small animal practices across North Carolina — with openings ranging from standard general practice to high-volume, advanced-scope hospitals.

Our current openings span a range of practice types and schedules — from small, close-knit 2-doctor practices with consistent Monday–Friday hours to a high-volume, 4-doctor hospital offering both GP, ER, and some specialty services, including surgery, orthopedics, rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, endoscopy, and extended wellness and emergency hours.

Whether you're looking for a quieter, community-focused setting or a fast-paced, high-acuity environment where no two days look the same — we likely have a role that fits.

Responsibilities include:

• Supporting efficient exam room, outpatient, surgical, and dental workflows
• Performing anesthesia induction, monitoring, and recovery
• Assisting in surgery across a range of caseloads — from routine soft tissue to advanced procedures depending on placement
• Performing dental procedures, including prophylaxis and radiography
• Maintaining accurate, detailed medical records and treatment documentation
• Reviewing treatment plans, medications, and discharge instructions with clients clearly and compassionately
• Identifying patient concerns and supporting efficient case management across the hospital
• Building strong client relationships through education, communication, and attentive service

Who You Are:

• Active, good-standing Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) in North Carolina — or an out-of-state license-holder eligible to transfer
• Recent graduates actively awaiting VTNE results or in the licensure process are encouraged to apply
• Experienced Veterinary Assistants currently pursuing or planning to pursue RVT licensure are also welcome

Schedule and compensation:

• Compensation: $20.00 – $25.00 per hour, for each hour worked, based on skills, credentials, experience, and placement
• 3rd shift stipend available for overnight and emergency shift coverage at select locations
• Schedule options vary by placement and include:
  • Monday–Friday, 4 x 10 or 4.5-day schedules — no weekends, no on-call at standard GP locations
  • Flexible day, 2nd shift, and 3rd shift options 
  • Tell us what works for you and we'll work to find a schedule and placement that fits your life
