Full Job Description

Midcoast Animal Emergency Clinic is looking for an experienced and highly skilled Veterinary Technician or Advanced Veterinary Assistant to join our emergency team.

This is not an entry-level position. We are seeking a confident veterinary professional who can independently manage a fast-moving emergency caseload, recognize changes in patient condition, anticipate the needs of the medical team, and help guide less experienced assistants during busy shifts.

The ideal candidate remains calm under pressure, communicates clearly with both clients and coworkers, and takes pride in delivering thorough, efficient, and compassionate patient care.

Available shifts will vary, and availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays is required.

Midcoast Animal Emergency Clinic is a community-founded after-hours emergency hospital serving Warren, Maine, and the surrounding area. Our hospital provides emergency and urgent care on nights, weekends, and holidays, as well as overnight care for patients from local veterinary practices.

Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with comprehensive in-house laboratory testing, digital radiography, ultrasound, a surgical suite, and an on-site pharmacy.

What You'll Do

Rapidly assess incoming emergency patients, recognize changes in clinical status, and help prioritize care based on patient needs
Perform thorough physical assessments and accurately document findings, treatments, medications, and patient updates
Anticipate the needs of veterinarians and prepare patients, equipment, medications, and treatment areas accordingly
Provide advanced nursing care to hospitalized, urgent, and emergent patients
Assist with emergency stabilization, diagnostic procedures, surgical preparation, and patient monitoring
Confidently perform venipuncture, catheter placement, fluid therapy, sample collection, medication administration, and other advanced technical procedures within the scope of the role
Support anesthesia induction, monitoring, and recovery while recognizing complications and responding appropriately under veterinary direction
Maintain situational awareness during high-volume shifts and proactively address workflow or patient-care needs
Assist in coordinating the veterinary assistant team by assigning responsibilities and helping ensure appropriate patient coverage
Communicate patient conditions, treatment plans, estimates, discharge instructions, and updates to pet owners with clarity, compassion, and professionalism
Remain composed and exercise sound judgment during emotionally charged or high-pressure situations
Serve as a clinical resource and mentor for less experienced team members
Maintain clean, organized, and fully stocked treatment, exam, and surgical areas
Support client service responsibilities in person, by phone, and through email as needed

What We're Looking For

Significant hands-on experience in veterinary emergency, urgent care, specialty, or high-volume clinical practice
Strong emergency triage and patient-assessment skills
Confidence working with critically ill, injured, or unstable patients
Experience with anesthesia induction, monitoring, recovery, and recognition of anesthetic complications
Advanced veterinary nursing and technical skills
Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
Strong medical record documentation and attention to detail
Ability to work independently with initiative, accountability, and good clinical judgment
Ability to quickly adapt to changing caseloads, patient priorities, and team needs
Demonstrated leadership skills and the ability to coach or support less experienced team members
Ability to remain calm, organized, and compassionate in a fast-paced emergency environment
Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays

A current Maine Veterinary Technician License or eligibility to obtain licensure is strongly preferred. Highly experienced, unlicensed veterinary technicians or advanced veterinary assistants will also be considered.

BENEFITS

We're passionate about helping you reach your greatest potential – both at work and at home:

Great pay with competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage
401K with a company match of up to 4%- after 6 months of service
Generous paid time off
Mental Health Resources
Company-paid bonding leave

Plus, special benefits to utilize for your own pet:

Pet Care: Discounts on veterinary services and products
Pet Diagnostics: Discounts on reference lab testing
Pet Food: Discounts on Purina pet foods
Pet Insurance: Discounts available with our preferred vendor

REQUIREMENTS

High school diploma or equivalent
Veterinary Technician Certification (CVT) or License (LVT) in the state of Maine (or eligible for transfer) a bonus for this role, but experienced unlicensed technicians or assistants will be considered
