Birchwood Veterinary Clinic
1741 Victoria Street Prince George BCDescription
We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician to join our small, privately-owned veterinary clinic in Prince George, BC.

That includes everything from small animal anesthesia, diagnostic quality radiographs, and in-house diagnostics to Fear Free handling of the animals, in-clinic hospitalization and nursing, and administering prescribed medications.

We offer a strong family-oriented work team with years of varied field experience and a program for onboarding new staff where we focus on communication, radiology, anesthesia, and general in-clinic technician duties.
We can’t wait to have you on the team!
