Overnight Veterinary Technician Assistant Jobs in Westford, MA at Westford Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center
WEIRD PEOPLE WANTED.
Overnight Veterinary Technician Assistant
Westford Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center
$20–25/hour | Full-Time | Overnight Shift
Let’s be honest…
If you’ve ever looked at a 2 a.m. emergency and thought, “Heck yeah.”
If you think putting in an IV is cooler than sitting in an office.
If your camera roll is 90% dogs you met at work.
If you’ve ever cried over a patient…and then immediately celebrated because they pulled through…
Congratulations. You’re our kind of weird.
What’s the vibe?
We’re an Emergency & Specialty hospital where no two nights are the same. One minute you’re cuddling a puppy. The next you’re helping save a hit-by-car patient. Then you’re restocking, learning a new skill, laughing until your stomach hurts, and somehow ending the night debating whether raccoons would make good coworkers.
It’s controlled chaos.
And honestly?
We love it.
Who we’re looking for:
You’re someone who:
- Shows up.
- Self motivates.
- Loves animals.
- Doesn’t melt under pressure.
- Wants to learn EVERYTHING.
- Thinks teamwork makes hard nights survivable.
Previous veterinary or animal handling experience is highly appreciated, but attitude beats experience every time. If you’ve got the work ethic, we’ve got the training.
We don’t throw people to the wolves.
We actually train.
Our structured in-house training program is designed to help you grow into an amazing technician assistant and build a long-term career in veterinary medicine. Whether you’re newer to the field or looking to level up, we’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
Why WVERC?
Because we’re not just an ER.
We’re a multi-specialty referral hospital, meaning you’ll work alongside specialists, emergency clinicians, and experienced technicians every single shift. That means more learning, more exposure, more opportunities, and way cooler stories than your friends with desk jobs.
Culture > Everything.
We don’t believe in toxic workplaces.
We believe in helping each other.
Teaching instead of gatekeeping.
Celebrating wins.
Owning mistakes.
Laughing through the chaos.
Ordering food together because everyone forgot to pack lunch.
And reminding each other that the patient always comes first.
Your supervisors?
Tatted.
Fiery.
Compassionate.
Slightly feral.
Experienced.
Ridiculously invested in helping you succeed.
We’re not office managers hiding behind emails. We’re on the floor placing catheters, cleaning kennels, helping with CPR, answering questions, advocating for our team, and occasionally asking, “Who stole my bandage scissors?”
We’ll challenge you.
We’ll support you.
We’ll celebrate your wins louder than you do.
We’ll show up for you.
The good stuff
We believe everyone deserves great pay—not just because of the shift they work.
That’s why we offer competitive base wages ($20-25/hour) instead of relying on shift differentials. We invest in our people because great teams deserve to be compensated like great teams.
