Original job description

Spay Today. Save Tomorrow.

AnimalKind will open AnimalKind Community Veterinary Clinic (AKCVC) in January 2027. As a nonprofit, our mission is to provide high-quality, affordable spay/neuter and preventive services to address pet overpopulation and shelter overcrowding in North Carolina. We are committed to improving animal health, strengthening the human-animal bond, and serving the Triangle community with compassion, respect, and professionalism.

Founded in Raleigh in 1997, AnimalKind began by educating the public about pet overpopulation and the importance of spaying and neutering. In 2004, we launched THE $20 FIX, helping low-income families access affordable services. Over the past two decades, we have served more than 25,000 families. Our impact continued with the opening of ReTails Thrift Store in 2005 and the SpayNC Helpline in 2009, connecting families statewide with affordable care.

Are you a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) who wants to make a meaningful difference? Join our collaborative team of veterinarians, veterinary assistants, and volunteers in providing high-quality, accessible care. At AKCVC, you’ll have a voice, autonomy, and support from an experienced leadership team as we work together to make a lasting difference for pets and their families.

What You’ll Do

Assist veterinarians with physical examinations and patient assessments.
Administer and monitor general anesthesia, including evaluating patient status and responding to changes during procedures.
Prepare patients for surgery, maintain aseptic technique, and provide surgical assistance as needed.
Monitor patients during anesthesia recovery and provide appropriate post-operative care.
Perform laboratory procedures, including sample collection, preparation, and diagnostic testing.
Perform venipuncture, including intravenous (IV) catheter placement.
Support pharmacy operations, including medication preparation, dispensing, and proper handling and documentation of controlled substances in accordance with applicable regulations.
Provide compassionate, low-stress care to patients and respectful, empathetic communication with clients.
We are committed to building a workplace culture rooted in compassion, collaboration, professionalism, and emotional wellness. We believe excellent patient care starts with a respectful and supportive team environment where people are encouraged to learn, communicate openly, and care for one another as well as the animals we serve.

What We’re Looking For

Current NC Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) or eligibility to obtain registration in NC within 3 months.
Experience in a veterinary clinical setting; high-volume spay/neuter experience preferred.
Strong knowledge of anesthesia monitoring, surgical preparation, patient recovery, and general nursing care.
Excellent organizational, communication, and teamwork skills.
Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment while maintaining high standards of patient care and safety.
Commitment to AnimalKind’s mission of improving access to affordable veterinary care.
Compassionate, respectful approach to animal care, clients, and colleagues.
Ability to remain flexible, collaborative, and solution-oriented in a growing clinic environment.

Schedule

Full-time position: Tuesday - Friday 7:30a-5:30p (subject to change)
Also seeking a part-time position: schedule to be determined based on clinic operating hours and staffing needs. Weekday schedule, with specific hours to be established before opening.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications ($25 - $27/hour).
Benefits package includes health, dental, and vision insurance; paid time off (PTO), including your birthday, and holidays; and professional development support.
Opportunity to help establish and shape the clinical operations of a new community veterinary clinic.
Supportive, collaborative work environment with an experienced leadership team.
Meaningful opportunity to advance animal welfare by increasing access to affordable veterinary care.
