About this role
Love veterinary medicine—but not the 10-hour clinical days?
Teach. Perform surgery. Mentor the next generation of veterinary technicians.
We're hiring a full-time Veterinary Technician Instructor for our Veterinary Technician program. You'll split your time between didactic classroom instruction and hands-on surgical teaching (spay, neuter, dental, and other soft tissue procedures you're comfortable with).
No production pressure. No emergency on-call. Just the rewarding work of shaping future veterinary professionals while staying clinically engaged.
Location: San Marcos, CA Hiring range: $47.45 to $59.32 Schedule: Monday - Friday
