Overnight Veterinary Technician / Assistant - 1 Shift Per Week
Guaranteed Pay | Calm Overnight Environment

Lancaster Veterinary Specialties (LVS) - Lancaster, PA

Are you a Veterinary Assistant or Veterinary Technician looking to earn reliable supplemental income in a calm overnight environment?

This role is ideal for someone who already works in veterinary medicine and wants one predictable overnight shift per week without the chaos of emergency medicine.

This is not an ER-style overnight shift - our overnight team typically cares for just 1-4 stable post-operative patients.

At LVS, our overnight team focuses on attentive, compassionate care for surgical patients in a supportive, drama-free hospital culture.

Pay: Competitive hourly rate based on experience

Why Our Overnight Team Loves This Role
• Typically only 1-4 stable post-operative patients overnight
• Calm, structured overnight environment
• One overnight shift per week
• Guaranteed base pay if the shift cancels
• Flexible start/end times to work around your primary job
• Supportive, drama-free hospital culture

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys focused patient care and quiet overnight work while earning reliable additional income.
Schedule

Primarily 1 overnight shift per week

Typical shift:
6:00 PM to 7:00 AM

Start and end times can be slightly adjusted to accommodate your primary job.
