Veterinary Technician - Overnight

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.

We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive, diverse, and collaborative environment where veterinary technicians can thrive.

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

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

Who We’re Looking For:

·A CVT or someone with 1–2 years of veterinary technician experience, with confidence in patient care and monitoring.

·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.
