What are the responsibilities and job description for the Certified Veterinary Technician position at Narra Veterinary Clinic?
About Us
Narra Veterinary Clinic is a privately owned, minority woman–owned small animal practice focused on high-quality medicine and the human–animal bond. We care for dogs, cats, and exotics, and are known for thoughtful medicine, strong client relationships, and a collaborative, respectful team culture.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Surgery-forward caseload with meaningful anesthesia responsibility
- Work at the top of your license—with autonomy and trust
- Team that values accountability, communication, and follow-through
- Opportunity to expand into exotics (rabbits, reptiles, small mammals)
- Independently owned—focused on patient care, not quotas
What You’ll Do
- Induce, monitor, and recover anesthesia across a range of procedures
- Anticipate patient needs and make appropriate adjustments in real time
- Maintain a high standard of surgical support and sterile technique
- Perform diagnostics (bloodwork, radiographs, lab prep)
- Oversee patient recovery and ensure continuity of care
- Communicate clearly with both clients and team members
- Keep thorough, accurate medical records
What We’re Looking For
- Licensed CVT (or equivalent)
- Confident in anesthesia and surgical settings (monitoring, troubleshooting, decision-making)
- 1 year clinical experience preferred
- Someone who takes ownership of their role and follows through
- Strong attention to detail and ability to stay composed under pressure
- A teammate who contributes positively and communicates proactively
- Interest in continued growth and refining technical skills
Position Details
- Part-time to full-time
- Competitive hourly pay (DOE)
- Benefits available for full-time employees
- Located just southwest of Portland with easy freeway access
