Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
Anicare Vets, Blanchardstown
Full-time, Permanent
Salary up to €70,000 DOE
Start date: November 2025
Join a Practice That Supports Your Growth
We’re looking for a small animal vet to join our friendly team at Anicare Vets in Dublin. This is a full-time role in a modern, recently refurbished clinic with no out-of-hours and a flexible rota designed to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Whether you’re looking to grow your clinical interests, take on more responsibility, or simply find a supportive, well-run team to be part of - we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
* 40 hours per week, usually over 4 days
* 1.5 weekends in 6
* No OOH
* Start Date: November 2025
You’ll see a varied caseload and work alongside experienced colleagues, including a vet with certificates in cardiology and diagnostic imaging. We’re particularly interested in candidates with an interest in feline medicine or dentistry - but it’s not essential.
This role is best suited to someone with a couple of years’ experience; it’s not suitable for a new graduate at this stage.

* Cat-only consult room
We’re a team of 4 vets, 4 nurses, and 2 support staff, working closely together in a positive and professional environment. We’re part of the wider Anicare Veterinary Group and the IVC Evidensia network - which means excellent support and opportunities for career development.
What We’re Looking For
* VCI registered and eligible to work in Ireland
* Minimum of 2 years’ experience in clinical practice
* Friendly, team-focused attitude
* Interest in developing your clinical skills (particularly in dentistry or feline medicine, but open to all areas)

Work Life Balance & Employee Wellbeing
