Greystones Veterinary Practice, Co. Wicklow
Are you an enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon looking for a fantastic practice with excellent facilities? How does no OOH and no on call sound? Here at Greystones Vets, based just 25 minutes south of Dublin, we have an opportunity for you…
Greystones Veterinary is a two-branch practice, one based in Greystones and the other in Bray. Established in 1992, we have a loyal customer base and are an integral part of the community.
We're a fantastic friendly team consisting of 4 RVNs, and two ACAs. There are four senior vets who work in the practice currently, one with certificates in Anaesthesiology. Our two most senior vets (20+ years' experience) are very proficient and knowledgeable and are happy to guide and support less experienced colleagues.
"I would not want to work anywhere else" – a recent quote from one of nurses.
The Role:
This is a full-time role based at our Greystones Branch though we can be flexible on hours for the right candidate, you'll work 4-days per week and 1 in 3 weekends (32hr -38hr (incl. weekend)).
There's no OOH and no on call to allow for a great work-life balance. Early shifts are 8:30 – 5 and late shifts 10 – 7.
Salary of €70,000 p/a pro rata.
There's opportunity to gain further experience in small animal medicine and surgery with a varied caseload. Hands on use of available equipment (IM3 dental machine, CR radiography, Endoscopy) to build diagnostic and treatment skillset. Support in pursuing specific areas of interest through funded CPD.
What you'll be doing:
First opinion consultations for routine and preventative healthcare, follow-ups, case work up. Performing routine surgeries (neutering, lump removal, dentals) and the occasional advanced procedures depending on experience. Diagnostic workups including radiography, ultrasound, lab testing and developing treatment plans.

Our ideal candidate will be open to rota cover and excited to encourage practice improvement through CPD, discussing cases, and mentoring when appropriate.
