Job Details: Job Location: 1160 Helmo Ave N - Oakdale, MN, Position Type: Full Time, Salary Range: $23.00 - $30.50Hourly, Job Shift: Any, Licensed Veterinary Technician – Specialty/ECC Float
Love specialty medicine, but don’t want to choose just one specialty?
At Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (AERC), our Specialty/ECC Float LVTs bring their skills wherever they’re needed most—supporting specialty services as well as our Emergency & Critical Care team.
This is a great role for an experienced technician who enjoys variety, adapts quickly, and wants the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients, clinicians, and services. One shift might have you supporting outpatient specialty appointments and procedures; another might put you alongside our ECC team caring for hospitalized or critically ill patients.
What You’ll Do
As a Specialty/ECC Float LVT, you’ll work across AERC’s specialty and emergency services based on patient care and staffing needs. Depending on the day, you may:
Provide advanced nursing care for specialty, emergency, and hospitalized patients
Assist veterinarians with examinations, diagnostics, treatments, and procedures
Perform venipuncture, IV catheter placement, laboratory testing, radiography, sample collection, medication administration, and other technical procedures
Prepare for and assist with sedation and anesthesia
Monitor patients and recognize changes in clinical status
Support outpatient appointments, procedures, and hospitalized patient care
Communicate with clients and members of the medical team
Maintain accurate medical records and patient charges
Provide appropriate direction and supervision to Veterinary Assistants and other support team members
Jump into different services and workflows while maintaining excellent patient care
Why Float?
Because sometimes variety is exactly what makes veterinary medicine interesting.
Our Float team gets the opportunity to work alongside clinicians and technicians throughout the hospital, build skills across multiple disciplines, and see cases that simply aren’t encountered in most practices.
You’ll become familiar with multiple services, but you won’t be expected to know everything on day one. We’ll provide training and orientation to help you become comfortable with the teams and workflows you’ll support.
Qualifications: What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for an LVT who is:
Licensed or eligible for licensure as a Veterinary Technician in Minnesota
Comfortable working with both specialty and emergency/critical care patients
Adaptable and able to transition between different teams and workflows
Confident in core veterinary nursing and technical skills
Organized, dependable, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
Collaborative and willing to step in where their skills are most needed
Interested in continuing to learn and expand their technical abilities
Previous specialty or emergency experience is strongly preferred.
A Different Kind of Technician Role
This position is ideal for someone who likes the complexity of specialty medicine, the pace of emergency medicine, and the flexibility of not doing exactly the same thing every day.
AERC is a locally owned, multi-specialty and 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital. Our teams work collaboratively across services, giving our technicians opportunities to learn from a wide variety of clinicians, cases, and disciplines.
If you’re an experienced LVT who enjoys learning, variety, and being the person who can walk into a department and make a difference, we’d love to meet you.
