Experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT)
$30–$36/hr DOE + Matching 401(k) + Paid CE + 4-Day Weeks Available
Clifton Hollow Animal Hospital | Poulsbo, WA
This role is designed for a skilled, confident LVT who wants to practice at the top of their license in a supportive, non-corporate environment.
Clifton Hollow Animal Hospital is a privately owned, community-focused small-animal practice seeking an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician who values high standards of medicine, autonomy, and sustainable work–life balance.
Why This Role Is Different:
- Many clinics advertise “competitive pay.” We define it — and back it up.
- Top-of-market compensation for experienced LVTs.
- Independent practice (no corporate quotas or productivity metrics).
- Technicians are fully utilized and medically empowered.
- Predictable schedules that respect your time.
- Supportive leadership focused on long-term technician retention.
This is not an entry-level role, and we are intentional about finding the right professional fit.
Compensation:
Our pay range is based on experience, efficiency, and clinical skill set, and is intentionally structured to compete with — and exceed — other leading clinics in the Poulsbo/Kitsap County area.
Comprehensive Benefits:
Financial Security:
- 401(k) with employer match.
- Paid holidays & generous paid time off.
Professional Growth:
- $500–$1,000 annual CE allowance.
- Washington State LVT license reimbursement.
- Professional membership dues covered (NAVTA / WSVMA)
- Opportunities to expand skills in dentistry, anesthesia, and advanced nursing care.
Work–Life Balance:
- 4-day weeks available.
- Predictable scheduling with no last-minute changes.
Additional Perks:
- Employee pet-care discounts.
- Supportive, collaborative, low-drama team culture.
- Leadership committed to technician well-being and career longevity.
This Role Is Ideal For an LVT Who:
- Confidently manages anesthesia and surgical nursing.
- Performs dental cleanings and full-mouth radiographs.
- Is comfortable with in-house diagnostics and patient monitoring.
- Values accountability, teamwork, and clear communication.
- Wants to be respected as a medical professional.
Required Qualifications:
- Active Washington State LVT license (required)
- Minimum 2–3 years of clinical experience strongly preferred.
- Able to work independently while contributing positively to a team environment.
