We're currently seeking a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with a strong surgical background to join our compassionate and talented team. This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to focus on anesthesia excellence, patient advocacy, and intraoperative care in a supportive, collaborative environment that values both professional growth and work-life balance.

Here is What Your day May Consist of:

• Assist veterinarians during surgical procedures, with an emphasis on anesthesia monitoring, sterile technique, and patient safety.

• Administer medications, fluids, and pain management under DVM supervision.
• Maintain accurate patient records, including anesthetic logs and post-op instructions.
• Manage and maintain surgical equipment and instruments for optimal functionality and sterility.
• Support dental procedures including radiographs, charting, and assisting with extractions.
• Educate clients on post-operative care and recovery, promoting excellent patient outcomes.
• Collaborate with fellow technicians and support staff to uphold our commitment to high-quality, holistic care.

Here is What You Will Bring to the Position:

• Current LVT license (or eligibility for South Carolina licensure).
• 2+ years of experience in a surgical or general practice setting preferred.
• Proficiency in anesthesia protocols, surgical prep, and intraoperative monitoring.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and compassionate with both pets and their people.
• Interest in integrative veterinary medicine is a plus, but not required.

Here is What We Will Offer You:

• Peaceful work setting with a focus on thoughtful, patient-centered care.
• Supportive leadership that values growth, work-life balance, and team input.
• Continuing education support and professional development opportunities.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including:
