Description

At Apex Veterinary Specialists, culture comes first. We've built a close-knit team that supports one another, communicates openly, and is committed to providing exceptional care for every patient. The dermatology team at Apex is looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician to join us in a temporary position, starting in October 2026.

This is a temporary position: We're seeking someone to join our team full-time (40hrs/wk) for approximately three (3) months.

You don't need to be a dermatology expert to thrive here. Specialty dermatology is unique, and we expect to teach you the medicine.

If you're the type of veterinary technician who always asks questions, seeks out new skills, and looks for ways to grow, you'll fit right in.

At Apex Veterinary Specialists, we believe the people you work with matter just as much as the work you do. With so many veterinary hospitals throughout the Denver metro area, we know you have choices. That's why we've built a workplace centered on teamwork, respect, and continuous learning. As a locally owned specialty practice led by veterinarians and RVTs who work alongside the team every day, we are committed to supporting our employees just as much as our patients.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Active Veterinary Technician Credential (RVT/CVT/LVT) [REQUIRED]
• Minimum 2 years of clinical veterinary technician experience (specialty experience is a plus, but not required)
• Skilled in patient restraint using Fear Free and low-stress handling techniques

• Experience with electronic medical records and accurate medical documentation.
• Excellent client communication and education skills
• Commitment to collaboration, professionalism, and exceptional patient care
