Galaxy Vets Urgent Care & Walk-In: Truro is a part of the Galaxy Vets family, which is a new employee-centric healthcare system with a mission to give veterinary medicine back to veterinary professionals.

This Is Not a Traditional Technician Role
We are hiring an RVT who wants to practice at the top of their scope in a fast-paced urgent care workplace.

At Galaxy Vets, RVTs are clinical leaders, not assistants to assistants. You are a medical decision-support partner to the DVM and a driver of patient care standards.

If you’re looking for a place where your skills are underutilized, this isn’t it.

If you want autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to help build a sustainable veterinary business, then keep reading.

What Makes This Role Different
Each shift, you are a key clinical pillar.

You:

Lead anesthesia and patient monitoring

Perform venipuncture and place IV catheters confidently

Initiate and manage fluid therapy

Execute radiology safely and efficiently

Monitor hospitalized patients and elevate concerns

Educate clients clearly and compassionately

Support surgical flow and sterile technique

Help refine clinical processes and standards

You are empowered to practice to the full extent of your training and registration.

What We’re Looking For

Registered Veterinary Technician (in good standing)

Minimum 1–2 years of direct patient care experience preferred

Strong anesthesia, catheter placement,



and diagnostic support skills

Confidence in urgent or high-pressure situations

Excellent client communication

A teammate who takes initiative and thinks critically

Evening/weekend/holiday availability required (we believe in fair rotation)

Ability to lift 50 lbs and work in a clinical environment, including bending, standing, stooping, kneeling, moving from room to room, and sitting; may be required to walk or stand for extended periods of time

Most importantly: someone who believes their role impacts the success of the entire hospital.

Our Core Values (And Yes, We Mean Them)
Owner’s Mindset– We act like this is our business. Because it is.

Sees the Big Picture– We are part of a larger network, not just one clinic.

Always Evolving– We always look for growth opportunities; both personally and professionally

Lead with Integrity– Holding ourselves, and each other, accountable to do the right thing even when nobody’s watching

Sense of Humor– We support each other, celebrate wins, and keep perspective when things get busy

The Essentials

$26–$30/hour (based on experience and involvement with the bigger picture)

Health, dental, vision & life insurance

Paid time off

Participation in the Employee Ownership Trust

If you’re ready to practice high-level medicine while helping build something meaningful, we would love to meet you.
