Full job description

Licensed Veterinary Technician – Specialty

Veterinary Surgical Centers | Gaithersburg, MD

$32.00–$40.00/hour, depending on experience and certification 

Looking for a specialty technician role with a life-friendly schedule? 

At Veterinary Surgical Centers, we're offering something that can be hard to find in veterinary medicine: 

  • Four-day work week 
  • Monday–Thursday schedule (8:00 AM–6:00 PM) 
  • No nights 
  • No weekends 
  • No on-call responsibilities 

If you're an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician who loves anesthesia, surgery, advanced nursing care, and working alongside highly skilled specialists—but also values time outside of work—this could be the opportunity you've been looking for! 

Why Technicians Love Working Here 

For more than 20 years, Veterinary Surgical Centers has been a leader in specialty surgery throughout the DMV region. Our Gaithersburg location combines advanced surgical services with a collaborative specialty environment where technicians are valued as critical members of the patient care team. 

You'll work closely with board-certified surgeons and other specialty professionals on a fascinating and rewarding caseload that includes: 

  • Orthopedic surgery 
  • Soft tissue surgery 
  • Advanced imaging (CT and MRI) 
  • Complex anesthesia cases 
  • Specialty patient care and recovery 

No two days are the same, and you'll have the opportunity to continually grow your skills while making a meaningful impact on patients and their families. 

A Team You'll Actually Enjoy Working With 

We believe great medicine starts with a great culture. 

Our team is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping one another succeed. You'll be surrounded by professionals who are passionate about patient care, committed to teaching, and genuinely enjoy working together. 

Because our specialty hospitals share facilities with other specialists, you'll have daily opportunities to collaborate, learn, and expand your knowledge in a way that simply isn't possible in most general practice settings. 

What You'll Do 

  • Assist board-certified surgeons during procedures and patient care 
  • Monitor anesthesia using advanced multi-parameter equipment 
  • Perform laboratory procedures and prepare outside laboratory samples 
  • Obtain patient histories, weights, and vital signs 
  • Provide exceptional nursing care for hospitalized patients 
  • Assist with patient admissions, transfers, recoveries, and discharges 
  • Support CT and MRI procedures 
  • Deliver compassionate, professional client communication 
  • Maintain treatment areas, equipment, and inventory 

What We're Looking For 

  • Current Maryland Licensed Veterinary Technician credential 
  • Associate degree in Veterinary Technology from an accredited program 
  • Minimum 5 years of veterinary experience 
  • Specialty, surgery, anesthesia, or advanced nursing experience strongly preferred 
  • CT and MRI experience preferred but not required 
  • Strong communication and critical thinking skills 
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced specialty environment 
  • Passion for providing exceptional patient care 
  • Positive attitude and commitment to teamwork 

VTS (Anesthesia) and VTS (Surgery) candidates are highly encouraged to apply. 

Benefits 

Our Comprehensive benefit package includes:  

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance 
  • 401(k) with a total company match up to 4%, after 6 months of employment 
  • Generous paid time off and flexible scheduling 
  • Continuing education allowance and professional development support 
  • Mental Health Resources 
  • Company paid bonding leave or applicable state provided bonding leave 

Perks for Your Pets Too!

Because we know how much your pets mean to you, we offer special benefits designed just for them: 

  • Pet Care: Discounts on veterinary services and products 
  • Diagnostics: Savings on reference lab testing 
  • Nutrition: Discounts on Purina pet foods 
  • Insurance: Preferred rates with our pet insurance partner 

Join a Team That Values Excellence—and Work-Life Balance 

At Veterinary Surgical Centers, you'll have the opportunity to work on challenging specialty cases, learn from experts in the field, and enjoy a schedule that gives you time for life outside the hospital. 

If you're looking for a role where your skills are appreciated, your growth is supported, and your evenings and weekends remain your own, we'd love to meet you. 

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of reference and background checks.
