Veterinary Technician / Licensed Veterinary Technician (Full-Time)

All Creatures Great & Small Veterinary Hospital – San Antonio, TX

Pay: $16.50–$19.00/hr. (based on verified experience)

Experience Level: 3–5 years preferred

Why Join Us?
We are a nimble, locally-owned, fast-growing practice in north-central San Antonio. Because we are a tight-knit independent clinic, we cannot match corporate-chain budgets or top-of-market hourly wages. However, what we lack in corporate cash, we make up for in unparalleled clinical variety and professional freedom. If you are a technician with 3–5 years of experience who is bored of standard dog-and-cat vaccine clinics, this is your playground. You will get hands-on experience with an exciting mix of small mammals, birds, and reptiles that most clinic staff only read about in textbooks.

What You’ll Do
As a core member of our small, dedicated team, you will utilize the full extent of your skills. Responsibilities include:

• Exotic & Small Animal Care: Safely handle and restrain dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and reptiles.
• Surgery & Diagnostics: Assist in surgery, monitor anesthesia, place IV catheters, and draw blood.
• Lab & Imagery: Run in-house laboratory tests and assist with radiology.
• Client Education: Take thorough patient histories and communicate treatment plans with warmth.
• All-Hands Teamwork: Support front-desk operations (answering phones, checking clients out) and help with occasional kennel duties.

Scheduling & Availability: We keep our business nimble to support patient flow, meaning flexibility is essential

• Shift Length: Typically 8–10 hour shifts (with up to 3 days off in a week depending on patient flow).
• Saturdays & Holidays: We operate roughly two Saturdays a month (resulting in a 6-day workweek those weeks).
• Boarding Coverage: Support staff share rotating kennel shifts for our year-round client boarding during weekends and holidays.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 3–5 years of veterinary technician experience (LVT is highly valued, but experienced non-licensed technicians are welcome).
• Species Confidence: Comfort and eagerness to handle diverse, non-traditional species.
• Versatility: A team-first attitude willing to jump from the exam room to the reception desk or kennel when the clinic needs it.
• Reliability: Strong client-communication skills, a fast-paced work ethic, and reliable transportation.

Perks of the Role

• Escape the rigid, metric-driven corporate clinic environment.
• Build a highly unique, impressive resume with extensive exotic animal case exposure.
• Work alongside a supportive team where your voice is heard and your passion matters.
