Experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician

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:

• $30–$36 per hour, DOE

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.

If you are newly licensed or seeking an assistant-level role, this position may not be the right fit at this time.
