Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) – Opening Soon in St. John's, NL

Galaxy Vets Urgent Care & Walk-In: Newfoundland is opening soon and will be part of the Galaxy Vets family—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 quick‑paced urgent care environment. 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 brand‑new hospital from the ground up, then keep reading.

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

You will:

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

Contribute to building the culture and workflow of a new hospital

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 skills

A teammate who takes initiative and thinks critically





Evening, weekend, and 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

Why Join During the Opening Phase?
Opening a new hospital is a unique opportunity. You'll help shape:

Clinical workflows

Patient care standards

Team culture

Training processes

The client experience from day one

Your voice matters, and your ideas won't get lost in layers of bureaucracy.
