Twilight Veterinary Practitioner – OOH / Emergency
All Pets Veterinary Hospital, Drogheda, Co Louth – Part Time, Permanent.
Salary up to €70,000 (FTE) DOE plus excellent benefits.
This is a rare opportunity to join a brand new ECC and out‑of‑hours service from the very beginning. All Pets Veterinary Hospital is already highly regarded across Ireland for its clinical standards and collaborative team, and this new service is being built to set a new benchmark for emergency care in the region.
You’ll be working as part of a dedicated night team of experienced professionals in an environment designed to deliver high‑quality, consistent emergency care while being fully supported by a well‑established hospital.
Shifts run from 2:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Sundays and bank holidays, when the night team takes over.
Based in the Drogheda hospital, you’ll have access to excellent facilities including digital radiography, ultrasound, a fully equipped in‑house lab, modern surgical theatres, and dedicated hospital wards. The hospital is busy and established, so your caseload will be varied, interesting, and genuinely rewarding – ideal for someone looking to build depth and confidence in emergency medicine.
A Strong, Supportive Team
You’ll be joining a large, experienced, and approachable team, with a range of clinical interests across surgery, medicine, dentistry, and ECC. It’s a collaborative environment where people support each other, share knowledge, and take pride in delivering excellent patient care. Development is actively encouraged, with funded CPD, support for further qualifications, and paid professional memberships.
Who This Role Would Suit
This role is ideal for a confident, experienced vet who enjoys emergency work and is comfortable working independently overnight. You would need to be competent in small animal medical and surgical emergencies. You must be VCI registered; while ECC experience is an advantage, a strong interest and willingness to continue developing in this area is just as important. The role is not suited to new graduates or those requiring close day‑to‑day mentorship.
