VCA Animal Wellness Center of Maple Grove | Maple Grove, MN

Lead a technician team that’s set up to succeed at a hospital that invests in its associates.

We’re one of the first Fear Free Certified practices in Minnesota and an AAHA-accredited hospital. As our Technician Supervisor, you’ll shape how our technicians work, grow, and feel at work. You’ll be a respected leader who still gets hands-on when it counts, with real support from hospital leadership.

The Basics

  • Pay: $27 - 33/hr, based on experience and leadership background.

  • Schedule: Full-time. No overnights and no Sundays.

  • Location: 7000 East Fish Lake Road, Maple Grove, MN 55311

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, coach, and support the technician and assistant team day-to-day

  • Build and manage technician schedules to keep coverage strong and burnout low

  • Train and mentor new hires and new grads, and develop skills across the team

  • Champion Fear Free handling and AAHA standards in daily workflows

  • Oversee inventory, equipment, controlled substance logs, and treatment area organization

  • Partner with the Hospital Manager and doctors to improve protocols, efficiency, and patient care

  • Stay hands-on: place catheters, monitor anesthesia, assist with procedures as needed

  • Handle performance conversations, recognition, and team communication with fairness and care

Why Leaders Choose Us

  • A schedule that works: No overnights and no Sundays

  • Leadership that’s funded: Leadership and mentorship programs, CE allowance, paid time off for CE (LVTs only), and free WOOF University® access (RACE-approved)

  • Look after your well-being: Lyra mental health access (up to 12 free therapy sessions a year), medical/dental/vision with HSA/FSA, fertility benefits, and paid vacation, sick, parental, and bereavement leave

  • Financial security: 401(k) with employer contribution, 100% employer-paid short- and long-term disability, and life insurance equal to one year’s salary

  • For you and your pets: Generous employee pet care discounts

Who You Are

A licensed veterinary technician who loves developing people as much as practicing medicine. You communicate clearly, handle tough conversations with empathy, and want to build a team culture people stay for.
