$75,000 a year for 32 hours a week (about $45 an hour).

Hybrid: house calls across Calgary plus some work from home.

Onward is a mobile veterinary practice. We see patients in their homes across Calgary for rehabilitation, integrative medicine and wellness care. Our appointments run longer than a typical clinic visit, and we plan the day so there's time to do the work properly. We call this slow medicine.

We're hiring a Lead RVT to work alongside our veterinarian and help run the clinical side of the practice as it grows.

The work

On visits, you'll see how patients move and live at home, provide nursing care, and help families work out a plan they can actually keep up with. Rehabilitation and mobility are at the centre of our caseload, alongside pain management and preventive care, and there's room to build interests in nutrition, acupuncture support and chronic disease management.

Between visits, you'll:

- Write and maintain our nursing protocols
- Train and mentor our veterinary assistants and technologists
- Run follow-up so patients are checked on between appointments
- Keep the mobile equipment, supplies and daily routes organized
- Support the ongoing use and implementation of advancing technology to improve standard of care

That last point matters to us. We want someone who's interested in how technology can save time, whether that's getting more out of our practice software, digital client education or automation. You don't need to be an expert. You do need to be curious and willing to question how things are done.

What we offer

- $75,000 a year for a 32-hour week
- Paid time every week for leadership, planning, documentation and follow-up, separate from visits
- Some work from home
- A real say in clinical decisions,



team development and how the practice grows
- Regular reviews of pay and role as the practice grows
- Three weeks (15 days) paid vacation a year, accruing from your start date
- $1,500 a year for continuing education, plus 3 paid learning days that do not come out of your vacation
- ABVTA registration paid in full, along with other relevant professional memberships
- Rehabilitation certification (CCRVT or CCRP) funded up to $5,000 for tuition and materials. Already certified? That budget goes to ongoing rehab CE instead
- 32 hours a week across Tuesday to Saturday, road days are typically 11 AM to 7 PM. No after-hours emergency work.

We're happy to talk through the package and what matters most to you.
