Job Description
*About Us*
Narra Veterinary Clinic is a privately owned, minority woman–owned small animal practice focused on high-quality medicine and the human–animal bond. We care for dogs, cats, and exotics, and are known for thoughtful medicine, strong client relationships, and a collaborative, respectful team culture.
*Why This Role Stands Out*
* *Surgery-forward caseload* with meaningful anesthesia responsibility
* *Work at the top of your license*—with autonomy and trust
* *Team that values accountability, communication, and follow-through*
* *Opportunity to expand into exotics* (rabbits, reptiles, small mammals)
* *Independently owned*—focused on patient care, not quotas
*What You’ll Do*
* Induce, monitor, and recover anesthesia across a range of procedures
* Anticipate patient needs and make appropriate adjustments in real time
* Maintain a high standard of surgical support and sterile technique
* Perform diagnostics (bloodwork, radiographs, lab prep)
* Oversee patient recovery and ensure continuity of care
* Communicate clearly with both clients and team members
* Keep thorough, accurate medical records
*What We’re Looking For*
* *Licensed CVT (or equivalent)*
* *Confident in anesthesia and surgical settings* (monitoring, troubleshooting, decision-making)
* *1+ year clinical experience preferred*
* Someone who takes ownership of their role and follows through
* Strong attention to detail and ability to stay composed under pressure
* A teammate who contributes positively and communicates proactively
* Interest in continued growth and refining technical skills
*Position Details*
* Part-time to full-time
* Competitive hourly pay (DOE)
* Benefits available for full-time employees
* Located just southwest of Portland with easy freeway access
*Apply Today*
If you’re a CVT who takes pride in your work, values high standards, and enjoys being part of a team that holds itself to them—we’d love to meet you.
