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.
