Description du poste
* POSITION SUMMARY-***This is 3-4 shifts every other week-Friday , Saturday, Sunday or Saturday, Sunday , Monday***
The Registered Veterinary Technician is both a primary patient-care advocate and a front-line
representative of Barrie Animal Hospital. The RVT assists veterinarians in delivering medical care,
performs diagnostic and nursing procedures within their authorized scope, conducts technician-led
appointments, and educates clients. The role spans the technical functions of laboratory, imaging,
surgery and dentistry, and nursing care, and in urgent care extends to triage, stabilization, and higher-
acuity case support. It requires a person who is highly personable and perceptive, able to educate and
reassure people, well organized, able to solve problems quickly and accurately, and an effective team
member—someone who understands the hospital's mission, standards of care, and protocols well
enough to speak about them with confidence, and who helps sustain the bond between the practice and
each patient. As a condition of the role, the RVT must hold and maintain registration in good standing
with the College of Veterinarians of Ontario.
