Job description

Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) - No On-Call / Flexible Schedule
At Animal Medical Center of Mid-America (AMCMA), we don't just practice medicine-we support second chances for animals. As a non-profit, AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital operating under the Humane Society of Missouri, 100% of our proceeds directly support animal rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.
Out of all non-profit veterinary hospitals in the entire country, only 16 are AAHA-accredited, and we run two of them! That means top-tier medicine, state-of-the-art equipment, and a passion-driven crew that treats every patient like royalty.
If you're an RVT who wants to use your full scope of skills in an environment that values your brain as much as your big heart, welcome home.
What Makes AMCMA Different?
  • Medicine with a Mission: You help owned pets stay healthy while directly supporting care for rescued animals awaiting adoption.
  • High-Tech Playground: Digital radiography, ultrasound, laser therapy, hydrotherapy water treadmills, chiropractic care, and advanced surgical suites.

  • Anesthesia Ace: Monitoring surgical procedures, calculating drug doses, and managing pain protocols like a pro.
  • Surgical Wingman/Wingwoman: Prepping patients, assisting veterinarians in high-end surgeries, and ensuring sterile field perfection.
  • Client Champion & Educator: Teaching pet parents about preventative health, and answering all the "Is it normal if my cat does this?" questions.
  • Diagnostic Detective: Running in-house lab equipment, taking high-quality digital X-rays, and performing dental scaling/radiographs.
  • Treat Dispenser Extraordinaire: Spreading love (and high-value treats) to make patients feel right at home.

Who You Are
  • Credentialed & Capable: You are a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) licensed (or eligible for licensure) in Missouri.
  • Master of Multitasking: You can monitor a patient's vitals, prep a room for an upcoming procedure, and comfort a nervous pup without missing a beat.
  • Team-First Mindset: You love collaborating with vets, fellow techs, and clinic assistants in a supportive, drama-free culture.
  • Compassion Heavyweight: You treat every animal with patience, empathy, and respect.

The Perks & Pawsitive Vibes
We take care of the people who take care of the pets.
  • Competitive Pay & Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.
  • Financial Protection: 100% employer-paid Long-Term Disability & Life Insurance, as well as Voluntary Short-Term Disability coverage.
  • Retirement Planning: Retirement Savings Plan to invest in your future.
  • Work-Life Balance: Generous PTO after your first 6 months! (Vacation, Sick, and Holiday Pay) and no overnight ER shifts!
  • Continuing Education (CE): Paid CE credits and opportunities to travel and grow your skills.
