Part-Time Overnight Veterinary Technician

Lancaster Veterinary Specialties (LVS) – Lancaster, PA

Come grow and learn with us at Lancaster Veterinary Specialties (LVS) — a multi-specialty referral hospital where technicians are supported, mentored, and genuinely valued.

Are you a veterinary technician or experienced assistant looking to earn additional income in a supportive, drama-free environment — without sacrificing your daytime position?

If you’re looking for a calm overnight setting where your skills matter and your leadership team truly supports you, we’d love to meet you.

And yes — really:
No weekends. No holidays. No chaos. Just good medicine; good people; doing what they love to do! 


The Role

We are seeking a skilled and self-motivated Part-Time Overnight Veterinary Technician to provide attentive, compassionate care for stable post-operative surgical patients.

This role is ideal for someone who:

  • Has 2+ years of veterinary experience

  • Is confident working independently overnight

  • Wants consistent supplemental income

  • Thrives in a structured, respectful team environment

Schedule

  • Primarily 1 overnight shift per week

  • Typical shift: 6:00/6:30 PM – 7:00 AM (usually Tuesday night into Wednesday morning)

  • Start/end times can be slightly adjusted to accommodate your primary job

Even during weeks when no overnight patients are scheduled, you’ll still receive a guaranteed weekly base pay.


What You’ll Be Doing

Overnight patient care typically includes 1–4 stable post-op surgical patients.

Responsibilities include:

  • Monitoring post-operative surgery patients

  • Administering medications 

  • Managing IV fluid therapy (Heska pumps)

  • Monitoring and documenting vital signs (HR, RR, temp, CRT) 

  • Maintaining accurate nursing notes and morning handoffs

  • Assisting with restraint for blood draws if needed

  • Responding confidently and appropriately to any patient concerns

This is a relaxed overnight environment — but we are looking for someone clinically strong, detail-oriented, and dependable.


What We’re Looking For

  • Licensed Veterinary Technician, Non Licensed Veterinary Technician or Veterinary Assistant. 

  • Minimum 2 years of veterinary experience required

  • Proficient in core technical skills (venipuncture, IV catheter placement, medication administration)

  • Strong communication and documentation skills

  • Calm, self-directed, and reliable

  • Team-oriented and professional

Specialty experience is not required — we love to teach.


Why You’ll Love LVS

  • A true unicorn clinic: no gossip, no drama, just kind professionals who care about each other and our patients. 

  • Patient-centered, high-quality specialty medicine

  • Predictable overnight structure

  • Guaranteed weekly base pay if we cancel the overnight shift regardless of hours worked.

If you’re excited to provide exceptional patient care in a supportive specialty setting while earning reliable extra income, we’d love to hear from you.
