About Us

Kelowna Veterinary Hospital is a proudly independently owned small animal practice that has been serving the community since 1946. We are progressive, team-focused, and deeply committed to doing veterinary medicine differently.

Our culture is built around:

- Psychological safety (not just a buzzword—it’s a promise)
- A 4-day work week at full-time compensation
- Mentorship, growth, and long-term career development
- Transparent pricing and honest communication
- A supportive environment shaped by leadership with a strong understanding of both clinical excellence and team well-being

The Opportunity We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) who is confident in their clinical skills, values teamwork, and thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

This is a well-rounded role where you will be fully utilized as an RVT. You’ll be involved across all areas of the clinic — from anesthesia and surgery to dentistry, diagnostics, patient care, and urgent care support. We believe in using our technicians to their full scope and creating opportunities to continue building on skills and confidence.

You’ll be working closely with a collaborative team of DVMs and support staff to deliver high-quality patient care while also supporting a smooth and efficient workflow throughout the day. Strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize in a busy environment are all important in this role.

Our caseload is wide-ranging, with a mix of wellness, surgical, dental, urgent care, and some exotics, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys diversity in their day and wants to continue learning.

This role is ideal for someone who:

- Takes pride in delivering a high standard of patient care
- Is confident with anesthesia monitoring and surgical support
- Enjoys dentistry and is interested in continuing to build those skills
- Communicates clearly and works well within a team
- Can adapt to a busy and sometimes unpredictable schedule
- Is proactive, reliable,



and willing to jump in where needed
- Wants to grow within a clinic that supports development and progression

What You’ll Be Doing

- Anesthesia monitoring and surgical support
- Dental procedures and radiography
- Laboratory work and diagnostics
- Patient care, nursing, and client communication
- Supporting urgent care and walk-in appointments
- Working closely with DVMs and the wider team

What We’re Looking For

- Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) in good standing (or eligible)
- Strong attention to detail and clinical competence
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to prioritize and manage time effectively in a busy environment
- A positive, team-first attitude

What We Offer

- Competitive wage: $28–$32/hour (based on experience)
- Signing bonus for the right candidate
- 4-day work week (full-time hours)
- Comprehensive mental health support, including access to counselling resources in a workplace that actively prioritizes psychological safety
- Extended health benefits
- Continuing education allowance and paid CE days
- Staff discounts on services, diagnostics, and products
- Access to modern equipment and advanced diagnostics
- A genuinely supportive, collaborative team culture
- Opportunities for growth, skill development, and mentorship

Why Join Us? As an independently owned hospital, we have the flexibility to invest in our team, support individual growth, and create a workplace where people feel valued and heard.

That also means we can make decisions quickly, adapt when something isn’t working, and take feedback on board. We’re always working to improve how the clinic runs, for our team as much as our patients and we’re looking for people who want to be part of that.
