Since 1986, Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital has been providing high-quality veterinary services to dogs and cats across Monmouth County, the Jersey Shore, and New Jersey.

• Work collaboratively with doctors and fellow technicians in a supportive team environment.
• Build your skills through cross‑training opportunities in different hospital departments.

What We’re Looking For

• Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) or 1+ years of veterinary technician experience with a solid technical foundation.
• Confidence in patient handling and technical skills (restraint, blood draws, radiology, etc.).
• Strong communication skills, reliability, and a team‑oriented mindset.
• Enthusiasm for learning, CE, and professional growth.

Why You’ll Love Working at Oakhurst

• Flexible scheduling: 4‑day work week or 5 shorter days, weekend shifts.
• Competitive pay: $18–$24 per hour, based on experience.
• Paid holidays (double pay if you work).
• Full benefits for full‑time employees, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with match, HSA/FSA options, generous PTO (up to 2 weeks in your first year) plus 5 days sick time, uniforms provided, CE allowance and CVT license reimbursement, pet care discounts and partial pet insurance coverage.
• Growth & culture: access to NVA resources for CE, licenses, and growth opportunities; organized training events; support in pursuing areas of interest (ultrasound, dentistry, etc.); close ties with local ER and specialty hospitals; diverse, well‑rounded team; strong community involvement (shelter spay/neuter programs, rescue partnerships, fundraising, and events).}

  We don’t just offer a job; we offer a place to grow, connect, and make a difference. If you’re ready to join a hospital that values education, teamwork, and excellent patient care, we’d love to meet you.
