Key Responsibilities:

No two days are exactly alike, but here's what you can expect:

• Delivering assigned curriculum lessons and providing hands-on support in a veterinary laboratory setting.
• Guiding students through lab procedures and practical demonstrations, helping them build real confidence and clinical competency.
• Keeping the lab environment safe, organized, and professionally run — just like a clinical setting.
• Grading assignments and providing meaningful feedback that supports student growth.
• Monitoring student attendance and reporting as required.
• Ensuring all safety precautions are followed in both classroom and lab environments.

Minimum Requirements:

• Active RVT or CVT credential.
• Graduate of an AVMA CVTEA-accredited Veterinary Technician program.
• Minimum 3 years of practical veterinary technician experience.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate clinical knowledge into clear, effective instruction.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive Pay: $31.00 – $38.75 per hour.
• Approximately 20 hours per week — afternoon and evening shifts.
• Colorado Paid Sick Leave.
• Employee Discounts.

A Few Things to Know:

• You'll work in a classroom and lab setting with exposure to biohazardous materials (blood, saliva, urine) — standard for the field.
• The role requires the ability to lift, restrain, and demonstrate procedures per curriculum requirements, and use standard veterinary and office equipment.
