Licensed Veterinary Technician - Part-Time | Weekday Schedule

Wenatchee Valley Humane Society is hiring a part-time Licensed Veterinary Technician for our veterinary clinic. You’ll work alongside a lead LVT, experienced veterinarians, a clinic manager, and a staff of veterinary assistants. Your focus will be hands-on patient care, with minimal responsibility for training other staff.

You’ll work Wednesdays and Thursdays, plus Monday, Tuesday, or Friday—whichever works best for you. No on-call and no weekends.

Our clinic has two days each week focused primarily on surgery, with a mix of surgery and public appointments on the remaining days.

You’ll help prepare patients, monitor anesthesia, support recovery, and provide care during public appointments. Our lead LVT and experienced veterinarians provide clinical guidance and support. New graduates are welcome, with onboarding and mentorship tailored to their experience.

Work with the clinical team to maintain safe, organized treatment and surgical spaces.

An active Washington veterinary technician license, or a pathway to obtaining one before beginning licensed duties.

Careful attention to patient safety and a willingness to ask questions.

Clear, respectful communication with coworkers and clients.

Interest in surgery, community veterinary care, and animal welfare.

Prior shelter experience is not required. Spanish language skills are welcome but not required. Technicians credentialed in other states and recent veterinary technology graduates are encouraged to apply.

Our clinic serves both shelter animals and pets belonging to community members who need affordable veterinary care. You’ll contribute directly to animals’ recovery, readiness for adoption, and ability to stay with the families who love them.

This is an active clinical position involving standing, bending, animal handling, and lifting up to 50 pounds with assistance. The work includes exposure to cleaning agents, medical equipment, and animals with varying medical and behavioral needs.
