Victoria, British Columbia, Canada VCA Full time

Exciting Opportunity for a Veterinary Critical Care Specialist


VCA Canada Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital, located in beautiful British Columbia on the West Coast, is seeking a dedicated Veterinary Critical Care Specialist to join our team. This unique opportunity is ideal for a veterinarian who wants to focus on small animal intensive care and collaborate with critical care Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) and board-certified emergency and critical care specialists.


The ICU is a purpose-built facility next to the Emergency Service, staffed by highly skilled critical care technicians. Our goal is to maintain the highest standard of care for critically ill patients, 7 days a week, by having a dedicated ICU presence. As a Veterinary Critical Care Specialist, you will work closely with criticalists and critical care technicians to manage the daily flow of the ICU and provide exceptional patient and client care.


This position complements the expert care provided by our board-certified critical care specialists during the week, and supports the Emergency Service, allowing them to focus on incoming cases. You will work with patients suffering from a unique mix of respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic issues. While the work can be intense, the ICU environment is slower paced than the emergency service, with a focus on meticulous patient management and compassionate communication with highly invested pet owners.


We offer 24-hour referral and emergency services with state-of-the-art veterinary care. Our hospital includes specialists in Critical Care, Neurology, Surgery, Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine, Oncology (Surgical, Medical, and Radiation), Diagnostic Imaging, and Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. Our dynamic team fosters a collaborative and supportive work environment where the primary focus is delivering world-class veterinary services and patient care.


Requirements:



  • A veterinary degree eligible for registration with the College of Veterinarians of British Columbia (CVBC)
  • Minimum of three years of full-time emergency veterinary experience, or 2 years plus a small animal rotating internship
  • Experience with ICU procedures, such as fluid resuscitation, blood transfusions, use of vasopressors, arrhythmia management, CPR, fluid therapy, and advanced patient monitoring
  • Expertise in managing patients with sepsis, circulatory shock, respiratory distress, and severe acid-base, electrolyte, and coagulation disorders
  • Natural ability to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team of technicians, emergency veterinarians, and specialists
  • Strong communication skills

About the Role:



  • Collaborate with criticalists and critical care technicians to manage the daily flow of the ICU
  • Provide comprehensive care for patients in the ICU, including reviewing patient history, conducting exams, and managing diagnostic and therapeutic plans
  • Work closely with the emergency service to accept critical cases and provide a continuity of care
  • Communicate effectively with pet owners and referring hospitals regarding patient care
  • Uphold the VCA Canada experience by ensuring patients receive the highest quality care

Salary Range: $120,000 - $180,000 per year, depending on experience. We offer a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan, and paid time off.
