- Exceptional time-management skills, critical thinking and efficiency in a fast-paced environment
- Consistently safe and effective patient handling skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Commitment to continuing education in anesthesia and analgesia, preferably with prior examples.
- Appreciation of own strengths and limitations, willingness to accept direction and feedback from more experienced RVTs and veterinarians.
**Responsibilities**
- Work in a busy, fast-paced, specialty hospital environment, planning, organizing and managing the daily flow of services.
- Collaborate and communicate effectively with veterinary specialists, interns, RVTs and technician assistants to provide the very best in anesthetic care for patients.

- Participate in a rotating after-hours on call schedule to provide general anesthesia to patients requiring urgent or emergency procedures during nights and weekends.

- Provide analgesia, sedation, general anesthesia and local/regional nerve blocks to patients undergoing surgical, endoscopic, imaging or biopsy procedures.
- Monitor patients under sedation or general anesthesia and make adjustments to protocols as necessary to ensure patient comfort and safety.
- Under the direction of specialist veterinarians, develop and implement post-operative care and analgesia plans and implement these within the intensive care unit. Supervise anesthetic recovery and transfer case notes to ICU RVTs.
- Scrub in to surgical procedures or assist in endoscopic procedures with specialist veterinarians.
