Veterinary Practitioner - Clontarf Veterinary Hospital

Anicare Vets, Clontarf Veterinary Hospital Full-time, Permanent Salary up to €65,000 per annum DOE Step Into a Role Where You Can Truly Make Your Mark

If you're an experienced small animal vet looking for a role where your clinical judgement is trusted, your surgical skills are valued, and your voice genuinely matters - this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

At Anicare Clontarf, you'll join a well-established, progressive practice that offers both stability and the opportunity to shape your role around your clinical interests. While we welcome a variety of interests, this position is best suited to a confident first-opinion GP vet who enjoys a balanced caseload of consulting and surgery.

A Balanced, Varied GP Role

This is a true first-opinion role with an enjoyable mix of consultations and surgical work across the week. You'll typically spend 1-2 days in surgery and 2-3 days consulting, managing a varied and interesting caseload.

The role offers a sustainable and structured schedule, designed to support both clinical quality and work-life balance:

36.5 hours per week

No out-of-hours or on-call responsibilities

Shared bank holiday rota (1-2 per year)

This is an ideal opportunity for a vet who is confident working with a team of experienced professionals, happy managing their own caseload, and comfortable contributing to the daily rhythm of a busy GP practice.

A Supportive, Experienced Team

You'll be part of a friendly and collaborative team of four vets, four nurses, and three support staff, all working together in a positive, well run environment.

The practice itself is modern and well equipped, with digital radiography, orthopaedic equipment, and a loyal, long standing client base that allows for high quality, continuity driven care.

This role is suited to an experienced vet who can work with confidence and autonomy - it's not designed for new graduates or those requiring close day to day mentoring.

Part of a Trusted Dublin Network

Anicare is one of Dublin's longest established veterinary groups, with clinics across Clontarf, Santry, Blanchardstown and Glasnevin. You'll benefit from access to a wider network of experienced colleagues, including certificate holders, enabling collaboration, case discussion and internal referrals - all while maintaining the close knit feel of your home clinic.

• Has at least a few years' experience in small animal general practice
• Is confident in both consultations and routine surgery (including dentals)

• Applicants must be eligible to work in Ireland (please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this role).
