    Are you an experienced Veterinary Technician who thrives in a structured ICU environment and enjoys managing complex specialty cases? Join Veterinary Specialty Hospital North County and work alongside board-certified Surgeons, Neurologists, Internists, Cardiologists, Oncologists, Radiologists, Ophthalmologists, and Criticalists in a collaborative, high-acuity setting.

    Our ICU is focused on advanced post-operative and medically intensive patients, not general kennel-style monitoring. This is a high-responsibility role requiring strong technical skills, critical thinking, and confidence managing complex cases, especially during overnight shifts.

    Schedule

    • 3 x 12-hour shifts per week

    • VTS: $38–$45/hour
    • $2,500 sign-on bonus paid within 30 days
    • Highly competitive wages aligned with specialty skill set

    About Our ICU

    Our ICU primarily manages:

    • Neurosurgical recoveries
    • Advanced orthopedic and soft tissue post-operative cases
    • Internal medicine critical patients
    • Escalated ER transfers requiring specialty oversight

    This is a structured ICU environment with strong interdepartmental communication and clear expectations. Technicians are trusted to function at a high level and are supported by board-certified Criticalists and specialty teams.

    What You'll Do

    • Independently manage post-surgical and specialty ICU patients, including overnight care
    • Monitor advanced pain protocols and CRIs
    • Support anesthetic recovery for high-acuity cases
    • Administer blood products and manage neurologic patients
    • Communicate directly with Criticalists and specialty teams
    • Provide clear, compassionate client communication during critical hospitalizations
    • Maintain detailed and accurate medical documentation

    Preferred Experience

    Minimum of 2 years ER or specialty ICU experience

    Demonstrated competency in:

    • CRI setup and management
    • Advanced anesthetic recovery monitoring
    • Blood product administration
    • Neurologic patient monitoring
    • Independent clinical decision-making within scope
    Experienced ICU Veterinary Assistants may be considered based on background

    Professional Development

    We are committed to technician growth and long-term development.

    • Dedicated trainer support for technician learning and skill advancement
    • Competitive annual CE allowance for RVTs and Veterinary Assistants
    • VetBloom access, including RACE-approved continuing education
    • Ethos-sponsored scholarships
    • RVT license application and renewal reimbursement
    • Clear growth pathways within our Level 1–3 structure

    Full-Time Benefits

    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • Disability and life insurance
    • Flexible spending accounts
    • 401(k) retirement plan
    • Employee Assistance Program
    • 3 weeks accrued paid time off
    • Uniform allowance

    Culture & Perks

    • 75% employee pet discount
    • Pet food discount programs
    • Free annual exams, vaccines, and lab work through our Blood Donor Program
