Career Center

Registered Veterinary Technicians and Certified Veterinary Assistants are needed for both our General Practice and our Urgent Care Practice (day shift and night shift).    

Do you enjoy caring for healthy dogs and cats, but also enjoy the thrill of urgent care and emergency medicine? Do you enjoy diagnostics and surgeries? Are you looking to work with a team that enjoys working together and have a healthy work/life balance? Then Adamson Veterinary Services is the perfect place for you. As a Veterinary Technician or a Veterinary Assistant at our practice, you will have the opportunity to enjoy all of these things. Our large community-based practice houses both a Day-time General Practice & an after-hours Urgent & Emergency Care Center. You will have the opportunity to work a variety of cases from everyday wellness care to emergency medicine. You will become part of an amazing team that cares about their patients and works together.   We offer a flexible schedule, allowing you to enjoy your time off and focus on yourself and/or your family.

We need 3 RVTs (registered veterinary technicians) and 2 - 3 experienced veterinary assistants. The RVT and vet assistant positions are NOT kennel positions, these are nursing positions and applicants should have a solid foundation in veterinary nursing.  I want team members that want to work as true animal nurses to free veterinarians up to perform doctor work.  They will use the skills they learned in school or on the job to provide top notch medicine.  

As an employer, I encourage new ideas, new methods, and evidence based medicine.  I offer a decent living wage, bonuses and great benefits. I firmly believe in work-life balance and provide work schedules that promote it. The goal is to make my practice a high-tech hospital where you have modern tools and equipment to work with, can get the experience you want, work with amazing people and find a place you want to stay long term. There are two different practices in the same hospital.  The General Practice is a day practice that is open 7 days a week and provides a flexible schedule that requires a person to work some weekends.  We are closed major holidays and there are NO on call duties, and NO overnighters.  The other practice is an After Hour Urgent Care Practice that is open only 5 days a week but has a less flexible schedule that does require a person to work every weekend, although this can be negotiated.  We close on major holiday, there are NO on call duties, and NO overnighters.  No one works more than 5 days at a time and only works one shift/day. The after-hour practice offers a higher salary to compensate for required weekends and the later hours.  It also offers bonuses and great benefits as well.  My philosophy is based on the premise that if you treat people fairly, pay them well and provide a great place to work, they will go above and beyond for the people they work with and the patients they see.

We continue to grow in this pandemic environment and have offered our services to other veterinary hospitals to refer pets to.  We have grown from a 2 1/2 doctor practice to a 4 doctor General Practice and are working our way into a 2 doctor after hour Urgent Care Practice.  That means I need more staff to support those doctors.  RVTs and VA of all experience levels are welcomed. If you are looking for a challenge and a place to use your hard-earned skills, be respected as a hard working, intelligent team member, make a decent living wage, great benefits and a healthy work-life balance, then this is for you.   Come join our team and see what the Adamson Veterinary experience is all about!
