Overview
Veterinary Surgeon – Small Animal
Location: Tullamore Pet Hospital
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: Up to €60,000 DOE + €5,000 Relocation Support
Why Join Us?
Tullamore Pet Hospital is in the heart of the Midlands – easy to reach from much of the country and less than 1 hour from Dublin city centre, with a great quality of life and a lower cost of living than the cities.
We’re a well-equipped hospital with everything you’d expect to work to a high surgical and medical standard – full diagnostics, in-house lab, theatre suites, imaging and more. What makes us different is the team: we’re supportive, collaborative, and down to earth. You’ll be working alongside colleagues who enjoy what they do and who’ve got each other’s backs.
Currently, three of our vets hold certificates in Internal Medicine, so there’s plenty of expertise to lean on for complex medical cases. If surgery is your strength or interest, you’ll have the freedom to focus there while working with colleagues who can handle advanced diagnostics and referrals.
We also believe in clinical freedom and professional development – if you’ve got ideas, we want to hear them. You’ll have the chance to shape the way we work and grow into a role with genuine influence.
Who We’re Looking For
This role would suit a junior to mid-level vet who’s confident with the basics and keen to keep growing. Whether you want to strengthen your surgical skills, develop a special interest, or gain experience in a busy, supportive hospital, we’ll provide training, mentorship, and encouragement.
You’ll be part of a fair rota: 1 in 4 Saturdays and one night on-call per week, with protected time off – so you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy life outside of work.
