Job Description

Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) - Vets Around the Corner (Port Perry, Ontario)

A career where your skills matter -- and so do you.

At Vets Around the Corner, we're more than just an animal hospital -- we're a team built on compassion, collaboration, and community. Located in the heart of beautiful downtown Port Perry, our privately owned, family-operated clinic is redefining what veterinary care looks like through innovation, teamwork, and a genuine love for what we do.

We believe in individualized, collaborative, and compassionate care -- for our patients, clients, and our people. Our focus is on work-life harmony, ensuring that every team member feels valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work.

Our innovative and community-centered approach has earned national and local recognition:
One of only five businesses across Canada (out of more than 15,000 applicants) to win the TELUS #StandWithOwners Grand Prize, celebrating our mission to break barriers to veterinary care through our Vets Around the Corner Community Veterinarian Program (CVP).

- #1 Veterinary Service in Port Perry (Readers' Choice 2025)
- #1 Overall Business Service in Scugog (Readers' Choice 2025)
- Home to the #1 and #2 Veterinarians in Scugog (Readers' Choice 2025)
And winners of the New Business of the Year Award and People's Choice Award from the North Durham Chamber of Commerce (2025).
