About the Role

SPCA Westchester is seeking a part-time Veterinary Technician for Cody's Clinic, a high-volume spay/neuter clinic. The ideal candidate is an experienced, confident, and certified vet tech who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment with a supportive team.

Responsibilities

• Independently execute anesthetic protocols for a high-volume daily caseload of canine and feline spay/neuter patients.
• Perform pre-anesthetic patient assessment, premedication, induction, intubation, and maintenance.

• Monitor anesthesia and adjust depth, fluid rates, and supportive care during surgery without requiring step-by-step direction.
• Oversee recovery and extubation alongside the assistant and volunteer team, recognizing and responding to anesthetic complications.
• Accurately calculate and draw up drugs (premeds, induction agents, analgesics, reversals, emergency drugs) under time pressure.
• Maintain accurate anesthesia records and controlled substance logs in compliance with NYS regulations.
• Direct and mentor veterinary assistants and volunteers within the surgical workflow.
• Maintain surgical instrument processing, autoclave function, and OR readiness between procedures.
• Communicate clearly and concisely with the veterinarian during cases, flagging concerns early and escalating appropriately.

Requirements

• Active New York State Veterinary Technician license (LVT).
• Minimum 3 years of clinical experience as a licensed veterinary technician, with substantial anesthesia caseload.
• Demonstrated competence running anesthesia independently from premedication through recovery on a high-volume surgical schedule.
• Proficiency with endotracheal intubation (including feline), multiparameter anesthetic monitoring, and IV catheter placement when indicated.
