Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT): What if you could create a brighter future for animals in need and the people who love them? We are seeking an RVT with a passion for shelter medicine to assist in shelter animal care.
The Ontario SPCA operates two spay/neuter clinics, a wellness clinic, SPCA Mobile Animal Wellness Services unit, and hosts MASH-style clinics to bring routine care and spay/neuter services to underserved communities.  We also find loving homes for thousands of animals each year at our animal centres across the province – animals who depend on the compassion of a veterinary care team to bring them back to health so they can get their second chance. This position, both challenging and rewarding, is suitable for those who love to work in a fast-paced and structured environment.
