Job description

Relief Veterinary Technician (Per Diem) – Mobile

Location: Chicago, IL Schedule: As-needed / per diem BlueSky At-Home Veterinary Care provides exceptional veterinary care right in clients’ homes. Our mobile approach brings comfort to pets and convenience to clients. We’re looking for experienced veterinary technicians who are interested in per diem work.

Responsibilities

  • Safely drive the mobile veterinary vehicle to and from client homes.
  • Assist the veterinarian with patient handling, restraint, diagnostics, and treatment following Fear Free® handling principles.
  • Communicate clearly and kindly with clients before, during, and after visits.
  • Perform technical duties: collect samples, administer medications, prepare and submit lab work, and maintain accurate medical records.
  • Support compassionate, individualized care for every patient.

Qualifications

  • Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT, RVT, CVT) or experienced Veterinary Assistant with strong clinical skills.
  • 5+ years of experience.
  • Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
  • Excellent communication skills and a compassionate, client-centered approach.
  • Commitment to Fear Free® techniques and patient-focused care.
  • Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently.

What We Offer

  • Up to $30/hr.
  • Flexible scheduling — this would be relief work on an as needed basis, filling in for fulltime team member absences.
  • A supportive operations team that handles scheduling and logistics so you can focus on patients.
  • A team built on respect, autonomy, and collaboration.

Why work at BlueSky

  • Work model: Fully mobile — no brick-and-mortar clinic, no commutes. Veterinarians practice in clients' homes.
  • Culture: Described as "compassionate, growth-minded" with a focus on listening to team input, respecting boundaries, and caring about well-being as much as caseload.
  • Clinical autonomy: Time and space to think clinically, explain recommendations, and build trust with clients without the pressure of a high-volume clinic.
  • Leadership: Led by experienced animal health entrepreneurs and practicing veterinarians who understand the realities of the profession.
  • Perks: Transparent pricing for clients; strong support systems for clinicians; focus on reducing daily friction.
  • Remote/hybrid policy: Role is field-based (mobile visits), not remote office work.
  • Company size: Small team (10–50 employees) offering significant impact and visibility for early hires.
