We’re looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician
If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, be respected,

Who We Are
Greater Saint John Veterinary Walk-in & Urgent Care is part of the Galaxy Vets family — a network of employee-owned veterinary hospitals where professionals don’t just work, they lead, grow, and share in the success of the business.
Unlike our other Galaxy Vets locations, Greater Saint John offers the full spectrum of veterinary care: urgent care and walk-in services alongside comprehensive wellness care, including wellness exams, vaccinations, preventives, dental care, surgeries, internal medicine, and diagnostics. That means more variety, more clinical depth, and more ways to grow in your career.
Our mission is simple: give veterinary medicine back to veterinary professionals. That means better systems, better support, and real opportunities for career and financial growth — without burnout.
You’ll thrive here if you align with Galaxy’s core values:
🧠 Founder’s mindset
🔭 Sees the bigger picture
📈 Always evolving
✅ Lead with integrity
😄 Sense of humour
