Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) Russell Ridge Animal Hospital - Lawrenceville, GA Full-Time | Competitive Pay Based on Experience | Benefits Available Love veterinary medicine? So do we. Russell Ridge Animal Hospital is looking for an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) who wants to bring their skills, compassion, and love for this profession to a team that genuinely enjoys working together. We're looking for someone with a real give-a-damn, or as we put it CARE, about the patient on the table, the worried client in the exam room, the hospitalized pet who needs an extra set of eyes, and the coworker who could use a hand.

Someone who notices when a patient isn't quite right. Someone who double-checks a calculation because it matters. Someone who doesn't walk past a problem assuming somebody else will handle it.

We're looking for an LVT who: Still loves veterinary medicine Takes pride in providing excellent patient care Understands that scared or frustrated clients often need compassion too Wants to use the knowledge and skills they worked hard to earn Takes ownership and follows through Helps without keeping score Communicates when something doesn't look or feel right Can laugh with the team on a crazy day and buckle down with them when things get serious Treats assistants, CSRs, technicians, doctors, and kennel staff with respect Wants to be part of a team, not just work a shift At Russell Ridge, we have a team that genuinely cares about one another . We support each other, teach each other, laugh together, and step up for each other when the hospital gets busy. We're protective of that culture, and we're looking for someone who will add to it.
