Who We’re Looking For

• A CVT or someone with 1-2 years of veterinary technician experience, with confidence in patient care and monitoring.
• Good communication and customer service skills.
• Ability to work independently during slower periods where only one technician is scheduled, and to collaborate with a supportive team at other times.
• Willingness to grow, learn, mentor, and cross-train.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Flexible scheduling: 3 x 12-hour shifts or 4 x 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.
