Compensation: $29–33/hr depending on experience
Leadership compensation without leadership burnout.

Urban Veterinary Associates (Westmont, IL) is seeking a Lead CVT who wants to help guide a technician team while still practicing high-quality medicine — with real doctor and management support.

This role is ideal for a CVT who wants leadership without being left alone to carry everything.

What you’ll do:

• Serve as a clinical leader and mentor for the technician team
• Work closely with doctors on patient care and workflow

What makes this role different:

• You are supported, not isolated
• Leadership expectations are clear and reasonable
• Doctors respect technician expertise and autonomy
• No “fast-paced chaos” culture
  

Why you’ll like working here:

• Stable, well-run practice in the western suburbs
• Team that communicates openly and respectfully
• Leadership that listens and follows through
• Protected breaks and sustainable scheduling
