Flex Veterinary Technician
Supporting care across our Lincoln Park, West Loop, Old Orchard, and Wheaton locations

Scout Veterinary Urgent Care is growing, and we’re looking for a Flex Veterinary Technician to support our teams across multiple locations. This role is built for someone who’s clinically confident, adaptable, and motivated by helping both patients and teammates—wherever they’re needed most. The schedule for this role is given one month in advance, so you’ll always know when you’re working, but your location may vary shift to shift.

We work in fast-paced, urgent care environments where teamwork matters and communication is everything. You’ll step into different clinics, support patient flow, and help deliver thoughtful, high-quality care to pets and their people.

What you’ll do:

  • Perform technical procedures including radiology, venipuncture, catheter placement, sedation monitoring, and in-house lab work
  • Assist with triage, patient stabilization, and urgent care treatments
  • Administer medications under veterinarian supervision
  • Communicate clearly and compassionately with pet owners, including discharge instructions
  • Maintain accurate medical records and support digital documentation
  • Jump in where needed to support team flow across locations

What we’re looking for:

  • 3+ years of experience in a veterinary clinical setting (preferred)
  • Strong technical skills and comfort in urgent or emergent cases
  • Calm, detail-oriented, and collaborative under pressure
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Ability to travel between locations
  • CVT licensure and emergency/urgent care experience (preferred)

Why this role matters:
Our Flex Technicians help keep care moving—supporting multiple teams, easing busy shifts, and making sure pets get timely, thoughtful attention. It’s a role with real impact, every single day.

Compensation & Benefits:
We offer the benefits you’d expect—and a few that make the day-to-day better.

  • $28 – 33/hour
  • Monthly travel stipend
  • Professional development opportunities
  • CE: if it moves your medicine forward, we’re in!
  • Uniform allowance
  • 401(k) with match after 90 days
  • Paid parental leave

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
