Overnight Veterinary Technician

Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital, an AAHA-accredited, Fear-Free, Cat-Friendly practice, is seeking passionate and dedicated Overnight Veterinary Technicians to join our modern, state-of-the-art facility near Asbury Park, NJ.

Our hospital is a large, well-established general practice with 12 doctors, a vibrant team culture, and a commitment to continuing education, mentorship, and professional growth. We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive, diverse, and collaborative environment where veterinary technicians can thrive.

What You'll Do:

Provide compassionate overnight care to hospitalized patients and medical boarders as the PM Doctors and technician finish up their days and then after hours while the Hospital is closed for appointments and phone calls.

Monitor, document, and perform treatments on patients at scheduled times.

Handle emergencies confidently and communicate updates to the on-call veterinarian.

Operate oxygen/anesthesia machines, monitoring equipment, and utilize electronic medical records.

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe hospital environment, including routine cleaning and facility upkeep.

Who We're Looking For:

A CVT or someone with 12 years of veterinary technician experience, with confidence in patient care and monitoring.

Good communication and customer service skills.

Willingness to grow, learn, mentor, and cross-train

Why You'll Love Working Here:

Flexible scheduling: 3 12-hour shifts or 4 10-hour shifts with overnight pay differential.

Mentorship from experienced doctors and technicians, plus access to organized training events and continuing education opportunities.

Opportunities for growth, cross-training, and career advancement within a large, multi-department hospital.

Active community involvement: spay/neuter programs, local rescues, Cat Convention participation, and other outreach programs.

Excellent location near the beach and vibrant Monmouth County area.

At Oakhurst, education, teamwork, and growth are at the heart of everything we do. Join a team that values your expertise, encourages professional development, and supports you in building a rewarding veterinary career.
