Today
Located in the thriving Lake Norman community of Cornelius, North Carolina, Bedrock Veterinary Specialists is a premier referral center built on a foundation of surgical excellence and compassionate urgent care. Our board-certified team boasts nearly 70 years of combined experience and a track record of over 10,000 TPLO procedures, ensuring you engage with a high-volume, high-complexity caseload that utilizes cutting-edge techniques. We are deeply committed to professional growth through active mentorship and daily collaboration, fostering a supportive environment where superior outcomes are achieved through true partnership. Just minutes from Charlotte, our hospital offers the perfect blend of a challenging clinical career and a desirable work-life balance, serving a dedicated community of pet owners in a region known for its outdoor recreation and quality of life.

As an overnight technician at Bedrock you will be responsible for caring and advocating for our post-operative and hospitalized patients. Our goals overnight are to keep our patients safe and comfortable. You will need experience in performing basic vitals as well as communicating concerns for patients and relaying diagnostic results as needed. You will also need to have experience in placing IV catheters and running blood work. Restocking and cleaning will also be a portion of the overnight duties.

We do not have an emergency or urgent care facility so your patient care responsibilities can be focused on our post operative and hospitalized patients. Our facility will be locked and secure overnight. At Bedrock we place a very high value on our culture and add only kind and competent team members. We strive to have a fun work environment and supportive team.
