Pet Cure Oncology, a Thrive Pet Healthcare partner, is looking for a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) to join our team as part of the Thrive Pet Healthcare community.

At Pet Cure Oncology, you will have the support, tools, and resources to elevate your skills. As a hospital deeply rooted in the local community, you will experience the best of both worlds: a genuine local feel with the benefits of Thrive's national resources.

Pet Cure Oncology was created in 2014 by the founders of Accelitech®, the largest privately‑held network of stereotactic radiation (SRS/SRT) centers in the human cancer market, in response to a growing need for this technology in veterinary cancer care.

While SRS/SRT is widely available for treating human cancers, the veterinary field has a limited supply of advanced technology and services for treating the growing number of pets with cancer. Radiation equipment is outdated, start‑up costs are prohibitive, and there is a significant shortage of board‑certified veterinary radiation oncologists in the U.S.

As a result, pet owners have had few options. Traditional radiation therapy can require dozens of daily visits (and anesthetic events) over a six‑week period, and can cause significant side effects for pets. It can also present a serious logistical challenge for pet owners.

As SRS/SRT begins to emerge in veterinary cancer care, early reports indicate good outcomes and fewer side effects than traditional radiation therapy, and pet owners appreciate the significant reduction in daily visits to three or fewer.

As a Radiation Oncology Veterinary Technician, you'll play an important role in pets' lives by providing comprehensive care throughout their journey. Your work will range from hands‑on care of facilitating outpatient treatments and performing laboratory tests, to surgery assistance, to support services including admitting and discharging patients.
