A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a small animal vet to join a well-established, independent practice located in Waterford. This is a permanent, full-time position offering an excellent work-life balance and a friendly, supportive team environment.
The role is based on a 35-hour working week with a manageable rota that includes:
* 3:1 in-house patients rota
* 12:1 OOH weekend rota
* 1 OOH night midweek
* Early finishes: two days finishing at 4pm, two days at 6pm
* Fridays: two out of three finish at 1pm, the third at 4pm
* Saturdays: one in three, 3-hour clinic from 10am1pm
This rota is designed to ensure that vets enjoy two full weekends off out of every three, with early Friday finishes leading into uninterrupted weekends, returning Monday at 9am.
Out-of-hours duties are light, typically involving only one or two calls per shift. Strong support is always available from the practice manager and a highly experienced senior vet with over 30 years in the profession.
The caseload is varied and engaging, ensuring no two days are the same. The successful candidate must be confident in routine surgeries including cat neuters, spays, dog neuters, and lumpectomies, and should have a minimum of one years experience in both clinical diagnostics and the surgical procedures mentioned.
The team takes pride in its high standards of care, loyal client base, and positive working atmosphere. As a small but close-knit team, a collaborative and team-oriented approach is essential.
Whats on offer:
* Competitive salary, dependent on experience
* VDS annual fees covered
* Practice mobile phone for on-call use
* Excellent work-life balance with structured time off
* Support in sourcing accommodation through local connections
This is an ideal role for a vet looking to grow within a progressive and independent practice where their skills are appreciated, and their well-being respected.
