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.
About Our Clinic
Our Blanchardstown clinic has recently been refurbished and is kitted out with:
* Dedicated surgical and dental theatres
* Digital x-ray, ultrasound, dental x-ray, and in-house lab
* Separate dog and cat wards
* 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)
What We Offer
We believe in investing in our people. In addition to a competitive salary and a long-term, stable role, you'll benefit from:
Work Life Balance & Employee Wellbeing
* 22 days annual leave
* Additional holiday entitlement for your birthday
* Paid maternity, paternity, and adoptive leave packages
* Cycle to Work Scheme
* Company Sick Pay & Bereavement Leave
* Access to EAP & Wellbeing Centre
Career Development
* €1300 annual CPD allowance with 40 hours paid CPD leave
* Full funding for any Certificates / Diplomas / PhD's you may want to pursue
* Opportunities for clinical and leadership progression
* VCI and VDS memberships fully covered
* Dedicated CARE fund - €1,100 annually to support exceptional cases
Additional Benefits
* Annual Pay Reviews
* Employer Pension Contributions
* Discounted Veterinary Fees across the IVC Evidensia network
* Free Flu Vaccinations
* Access to "Pawesome" Benefits – retail and lifestyle discount platform
* Opportunity to join company programmes (LGBTQ+, Wellbeing Champions, Nurses Committee, Clinical Board and many more)
