Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) - Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital

Located on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital in Nanaimo offers the opportunity to build a rewarding career in emergency medicine while enjoying a pacific coastal lifestyle with access to outdoor recreation, a strong community, and a balanced pace of life. We are centrally located on Vancouver Island, an easy day trip from BC’s Capital, Victoria, or the surf destination of Vancouver Island (Tofino), with daily ferries and flights to and from Vancouver for more adventurous trips or big city escapes.

We are seeking a dedicated Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) to join our Emergency team at our 24/7 veterinary hospital. We currently operate on a modified 4-day work week while we continue to build our team, with a goal to be back to 24/7 functionality as soon as possible. RVTs enjoy a condensed work schedule consisting of three 12 hours shifts per week, which are a combination of Day shifts, Swing shifts, and Night shifts (block scheduling and rotational flexibility available as needed).

This role is ideal for an RVT who enjoys emergency medicine or is emergency-curious, values teamwork, and is looking for a workplace that actively supports learning, mentorship, and professional development. Emergency experience is considered an asset but is not required — training and ongoing support are provided. Come and see what life in the ER on beautiful Vancouver Island is like!

  • Shift premiums for overnight and weekend shifts

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and access to 24/7 telemedicine services for you and your family
  • Structured onboarding, training, and mentorship
  • Paid vacation, sick days (5 days)
  • Staff pet care discounts

Job Responsibilities

  • Triage and monitoring of emergency and critical patients
  • Anesthesia induction, monitoring, and recovery
  • IV catheter placement, blood collection, and in-house laboratory testing
  • Assisting with emergency diagnostics, treatments, and surgical procedures
  • Accurate and timely medical record keeping
  • Compassionate and professional client communication
  • Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe emergency department
  • Familiar with Cornerstone Whiteboard is an asset, but not required.
