About this role
GoodVets, a network of locally co-owned animal hospitals, is looking for a Veterinary Technician to join their Chicago team. You'll support veterinarians across a range of clinical tasks—venipuncture, IV catheter placement, radiographic imaging, anesthesia monitoring, surgical assistance, and patient care—while working in a collaborative environment that emphasizes both quality medicine and team development. The role requires you to be comfortable with hands-on technical work, patient communication, and the flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
The ideal candidate holds or is pursuing a CVT or RVT license and has prior experience in surgical and anesthesia support within a veterinary clinic. You should be detail-oriented, compassionate with animals, and genuinely interested in learning and growing professionally alongside a supportive team. Strong communication skills and a customer service mindset matter as much as technical competence.
GoodVets offers a solid benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with company match, generous paid time off, and discounts on veterinary care for your own pets. The salary range is $22–$29 per hour, and the position is in-office in Chicago.
