Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT)

Job Description

Job Description

Salary :

If you’re reading this, you know firsthand the pressure we’ve been under as an industry over the last few years. With over 23 million new pets in American homes, the veterinary profession has been at a near breaking point with ER hospitals and general practices at max capacity.

The challenges are many and there’s no instant fix, but we see an opportunity to help.

At Truss Vet, we envision a more compassionate world where quality of life is elevated; where there is joy in the human-animal bond, unencumbered by poor health, limited resources or inadequate access to care.

Our mission is to bridge gaps in veterinary care and strengthen our community by reimagining the way animal hospitals serve pets and people.

So where do we start? We are developing veterinary urgent care facilities that deliver exceptional care experiences and promote the well-being of our entire team.

Truss Vet treats non-life threatening emergencies that don’t belong in the ER but may not fit into the busy day of a general practice.

It’s kind of like human urgent care, but our model is so much better.

As a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVT / LVT / CVT) at Truss Vet, you are the backbone of clinical operations. You help set the standard for patient care, client experience, and team wellbeing.

This means ensuring the highest quality practice of medicine and a commitment to constant improvement, providing the most fear free handling, cultivating a fun, work-hard / play-hard team environment, exceeding client expectations, and interacting with your team fairly and professionally as they (and you!) deserve to be treated.

Your job is to help define the benchmark for care in one of the best clinics and places to work on earth. No pressure : )

You’re a great fit if :

• Someone would describe you as proactive, detail-oriented, timely, organized, productive, analytical and still a people person! Bonus points if you can move things with your mind!
• You have a growth mindset; you never stop learning, and you’re constantly looking for ways to advance yourself, your career, and your team
• You want to work for a company that has a big vision and ambitious plans for growth, and you want to be a part of helping achieve that growth
• You want to make a difference in the world, have an impact on people’s lives, and change the future of animal healthcare for the better
• You love working in teams and find that you’re able to relate to people of all types (yes, people are gross, but you didn’t choose vet med because you love animals and hate people)
• You’re willing to get your hands dirty; no task is beneath you, you’re entrepreneurial and a servant leader
• You provide energy to the people you’re around because you’re generally a happy, positive, optimistic person (after interacting with you, people feel energized vs. drained)
• You are a licensed RVT, CVT, or LVT or are eligible for licensure in the state of NC
• You read our core values (below) and they overlap with your personal values

We believe in :

• Excellence in medicine and the highest reasonable standards of care
• Providing our teams the resources to be happy and successful
• That every pet deserves to live its best life (Except for that one chihuahua jk)
• 3-day workweeks
• Going home on time
• No abusive noncompetes
• Building a supportive team that you want to hang out with even on your days off (but we’ll never make you)
• Treating people like we want to be treated
• Compensation and benefits that help people live well
• Working hard and pursuing excellence while still having fun

Compensation & Benefits :

• Competitive pay
• Health / vision / dental insurance
• Short- and long-term disability coverage, life insurance
• A generous CE stipend
• 401K + matching
• Payment of all professional dues / licenses / NCVMA
• Commitment to professional and personal development through mentorship
• Pet care discounts and Figs uniform allowance
• No boarding, grooming, emergencies, or on-call!

Our Values :

• Compassion : We treat every pet like it’s our own, every client like they’re our friend, and every team member like we would want to be treated.
• Accountability : Our team is the engine that changes lives; we are driven by a desire to succeed and hold each other accountable to that success.
• Conscientiousness : Our standards are reflected in every choice we make, and even the smallest actions may profoundly impact others; the details matter!
• Adaptability : Growth requires change so we value creativity, embrace new ideas, and welcome new challenges.
• Openheartedness : Directness, honesty, and empathy in communication; we care enough to have tough conversations and we handle tough conversations with care.
• Positivity : We’re endlessly optimistic, we encourage collaboration, we empower and elevate each other, and we have fun doing it!
