Join the OHS Veterinary Technician Team
Veterinary Technicians at the Ottawa Humane Society
The OHS relies on dedicated veterinary technicians, registered veterinary technicians and assistant veterinary technicians to care for thousands of Ottawa’s most vulnerable animals each year. They provide life-saving care like routine exams, administering medications and vaccines, drawing blood, lab work and more. If you want action in your career, you can find it at the OHS.
We’re Currently Looking For:
- Registered Veterinary Technician: Clinic Services – Full Time
- Veterinary Technician: Animal Care – Full Time
- Assistant Veterinary Technician – Casual
Why Work With Us
The OHS offers a truly unique work experience for veterinary technicians. The shelter environment is fast-paced and provides a wide range of experiences and learning opportunities, allowing veterinary technicians to strengthen their skills.
Veterinary technicians often work independently. There’s no waiting for the next patient to arrive or waiting for the veterinarian to assign work. At the OHS, you spend your day seeing animal after animal, without interacting directly with clients!
Plus you can learn and grow at the OHS — we offer paid career development opportunities so you can take your career to the next level.

What our amazing veterinary technicians say about working at the OHS:
“This is a wonderful team to work with, I have great coworkers who support and encourage me.”
“I love the fact that you see a much wider range of medical issues that you may never see in a clinic and that provides a wide range of learning and experience. We get to work with wildlife as well!”
“I like that we have a certain level of independence, and I like being trusted to make decisions.”
“There’s so much variety in our work and I find I work more closely with animals than in a private clinic. I also love not working with pet owners directly.”
“I love being able to see improvements of animals I’ve worked with and seeing them go up for adoption. It feels good knowing we’re making a difference.”
