Familiarity with veterinary management software, scheduling systems, and sometimes certification such as CVPM (Certified Veterinary Practice Manager) is highly beneficial. Excellent interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are essential soft skills for managing staff and client relations.

If you bring energy, compassion, and a calm resolve under pressure, we want you to join our team and help shape the future of veterinary emergency care in Alaska.

Why Join Pet Emergency Treatment (PET AK)

At PET AK, part of Ethos Veterinary Health, you'll play a central role in emergency patient care, collaborating with doctors in a strong technician team. Working in a rural or frontier setting means more autonomy, more varied cases, and a deeper connection to your community, in a state where wilderness is just outside your door and the pace of medicine is uniquely rewarding.

In your day-to-day, you will:

  • Provide emergency nursing care in alignment with attending doctors' orders

  • Perform triage of incoming patients, assessing urgency and stabilizing as needed

  • Accurately calculate and administer medications

  • Conduct in-house lab work, sampling, and analysis

  • Place and manage IV catheters, monitor anesthesia, and oversee vital signs

  • Manage patient comfort, monitor recovery, and communicate progress to clients

  • Work closely with veterinarians, technicians, and support teams

  • Contribute to a positive, team-focused hospital culture

What You Bring

  • A minimum of one year of veterinary technician experience; emergency experience is preferred but not strictly required

  • Veterinary Technician credential (LVT) or licensure, highly preferred

  • Willingness and ability to work overnights and weekends

  • Adaptability, attention to detail, and the ability to stay composed under pressure

  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to exceptional patient care, with a compassionate, energetic mindset and strong communication and teamwork skills

Perks & Benefits

Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance

  • Competitive compensation, including overtime compensation available

  • Sign-on bonus up to $5,000, plus relocation assistance ($3,000 for a 1-year commitment, $5,000 for a 2-year commitment)

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • CE allowance and professional development support, including $1,000 annual CE allowance, full coverage of licensure renewals, and education assistance/tuition reimbursement

  • Paid time off

  • Retirement savings options (401(k) retirement plan)

  • Flexible scheduling options, healthcare spending/reimbursement accounts (HSA/FSA), additional insurance options, employee discounts, and workplace perks like complimentary food and coffee

Location Highlight

Anchorage offers outdoor adventure that's hard to rival — miles of trails, backcountry skiing, fishing, wildlife viewing, and dramatic seasons with nature right in your backyard. It's also a real city, with great dining, arts, and community, giving you the best of both wilderness and everyday amenities.
