Job description

Urgent Care + General Practice | No Overnights | Flexible Shifts

Burned out by overbooked schedules and lack of support? At Sploot, you'll practice high-quality medicine alongside an exceptional team — with the tools, mentorship, and work-life balance to actually love what you do.

What Makes Sploot Different

  • Flexible 10–12 hour shifts with varying days per week + No overnights
  • Highly skilled nursing team + up to 3:1 Nurse to DVM ratio
  • Tech-forward tools including laparoscopic surgery suite and AI scribe software
  • Balanced mix of urgent care and wellness cases — no two days are the same
  • Strong pre-visit triage so you walk into every appointment prepared

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • RVT, CVT, or LVT — Current Veterinary Technician License in the state of Illinois
  • 1+ year of vet tech experience; emergency or urgent care is a plus but not required
  • Team-first mindset — collaborative, communicative, and willing to jump in where needed
  • Organized and proactive in a fast-paced environment, with a sharp eye for detail
  • Compassionate with pets, patient with clients, and motivated to keep growing
  • Bonus Points: experience or interest in dentistry or anesthesia

What You'll Do

  • Clinical Partnership: Support veterinarians with surgery prep, anesthesia monitoring, treatments, and diagnostics
  • Technical & Lab Skills: Perform blood draws, lab work, IV catheter placement, radiographs, medication and vaccine administration, and wound care assistance
  • Client Education & Support: Guide and reassure pet parents by clearly communicating care plans and at-home instructions
  • Clinic Operations: Maintain accurate digital records (with AI scribe support), restock supplies, and keep equipment clean and sterilized
  • Culture & Mentorship: Contribute to a positive, solutions-focused team environment and support the growth of veterinary assistants

The Perks of the Pack

  • $26–$32/hour, plus 1.5x pay on Sploot-recognized holidays
  • Full reimbursement for Illinois technician licensure + up to 10 hours of CE annually
  • Employee Pet Benefits — free, at-cost, or deep discounts for up to 5 of your own pets
  • Health, Dental, and Vision with a generous employer contribution; HSA available
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous PTO, and up to 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Free Sploot-branded FIGS scrubs, unlimited snacks, and regular team events
