Registered Veterinary Technologist

ISO a Hidden Gem of an RVT

We are currently growing our technical team in preparation for our soon to be expanding veterinarian team and we need to find a diamond in the rough! We need someone who is looking to hone their current areas of skill and expand their knowledge in vet med and leadership. You don't need to a rockstar, but have the aspiration of becoming a shining star within a team of stars. Must be someone with a desire to learn and grow.

Our clinic is an award winning, privately owned, non-corporate practice. We're a paperless rural mixed animal facility with all the bells and whistles expected in a progressive clinic including; a dedicated dental suite with DDXR, full in house and expanding diagnostic lab, separate prep/sterilization room, large animal handling facility and even a snack room stocked with a Nespresso, granola bars, chips and goodies for team use in our office addition and more. Check us out at www.gatewayvet.ca.

We have a lot of experience mentoring and we have an onboarding/training system in place to get you up to speed fast. We've helped over 40 DVM/RVT/VMR students receive their volunteer or practical placements and build their skills in the past 12 years. We're not afraid of training/mentoring and actively invest in our teams and your development, training and mentorship.

Do you have an interest in a specific area of practice? Excellent! We have helped to investigate and can provide ways to grow and train our team in the areas that they want to expand their knowledge and skills. Specialized training programs for dentistry, conferences in Florida, and more. Looking for a possibility of a shorter work week with longer hours? That's possible! Part time? Let's see what we can work out! We're flexible enough to help find ways to meet your needs as well as ours. Family is important and we understand that, so we are willing to work with a family's needs as much as possible. If you are looking for a way to take ownership and responsibility over your job, have the satisfaction of taking some control over how and why you do what you do, and are up for the challenge of working in this nontoxic high paced team, then maybe we're the right place for you.

We pride ourselves in maintaining our nontoxic zone where we focus on hiring for fit and teaching for skill where needed. The practice is structured strongly around the input and responsibility from every level of the team. Our employees rate their job satisfaction high, as we focus on our commitments to animal welfare. The culture embraces respect, responsibility, honesty, personal and professional training and team comradery. We believe in a team that supports each other and the betterment of each person on our team. Team building is something we aren't afraid to invest in and we organize nonwork related events throughout the year to help maintain this environment.

Melfort is big enough to have a Canadian Tire and McDonalds, but small enough to feel safe and familiar. Known as the 'Gateway to the North', we are a short distance from excellent forestry for quadding or sledding, hot spot lakes for fishing or water sports, competitive horse arenas, downhill skiing and so much more. Plus we are an easy drive to 3 major cities for any shopping beyond what is provided locally. Our town has many recreational teams and regular events that you can join to keep active outside of work. We have many ways to be involved locally if that is something important to you.

If you aren't happy at work and are looking to be a part of a team that pushes each other to be the best version of themselves everyday, why stay there when you can be here?! To see if we might be the right fit for you and your future, apply below.
