Overview
Veterinary Practitioner – Small Animal.
Barna & Moycullen Veterinary Clinic, Co.
Galway.
Part-time, Permanent.
Salary commensurate with experience.
Relocation support available up to €5,000.
A role that fits around your life, not the other way around.
If you're a small animal vet looking for a role that offers genuine balance, flexibility and professional fulfilment, this could be exactly what you've been searching for.
Barna & Moycullen Veterinary Clinic is welcoming an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, established team on a part-time, permanent basis.
This opportunity is well suited to vets stepping back from full-time hours while maintaining a meaningful caseload, clinical autonomy, and access to ongoing development, including CPD and certificate support.
We're open to shaping this role around you, whether you're balancing family life, other commitments, or seeking a more sustainable pace.
The Role
This is a flexible, part-time position offering a minimum of 18 hours per week, with a shared Saturday rota of 1 in 4.
The out-of-hours commitment is light and well managed, shared with a neighbouring practice and amounting to approximately two weeknights per month and five weekends per year.
Hours and days can be tailored to suit your availability and lifestyle, so this is a "fit-or-flex" role.
If you have something specific in mind, we'd love to hear it.
What We're Looking For
We'd love to hear from VCI-registered Veterinary Surgeons with experience in general small animal practice who are confident with first-opinion work and routine surgery.
You'll be comfortable managing your own cases, including occasional sole charge, and you'll value good communication, teamwork and high standards of patient and client care.
Whether you're earlier in your career and keen to continue developing in a supportive environment, or a more experienced vet looking for a rewarding and sustainable next step, there's a place for you here.
