A Role Where You Can Truly Enjoy Practice Again

If you’re looking for a role where you can focus on delivering high-quality clinical care, work with a genuinely supportive team, and enjoy a varied caseload without out-of-hours demands - this could be the perfect fit.

Raheny Veterinary Hospital is a long-established, community-focused practice with a strong reputation, now entering an exciting new phase with a full refurbishment of our facilities. This is a great opportunity to join a practice that blends clinical standards, continuity of care, and a positive working environment.

The Role

This position offers a balanced mix of consulting, surgery, and case management within a busy first opinion clinic. You’ll work across a varied caseload, with time and support to thoroughly work up cases and deliver excellent patient outcomes.

Your week will include a combination of consultation and surgical days, typically between 9:00am and 5:00pm, with some longer shifts incorporated into the rota. Protected time is built into the diary for admin, case follow-ups, and clinical discussions, allowing you to manage your workload effectively.

There is no out-of-hours or on-call requirement, and weekend work is shared fairly across the team.

Clinical Environment & Facilities

We are a well-equipped and progressive practice, currently undergoing a full renovation to further enhance both our clinical capabilities and working environment.

Our facilities include diagnostic imaging, ultrasound, dental X-ray, endoscopy, and a full IDEXX in-house laboratory. With dedicated surgical and dental suites and separate wards, we’re set up to deliver a high standard of care across both routine and more complex cases.

We actively encourage thorough case work-ups, continuity of care, and the development of individual clinical interests, particularly in surgery and diagnostics.

Team & Culture

What truly sets Raheny apart is our team. We are friendly, collaborative, and supportive, with a strong emphasis on communication and teamwork.

You’ll be joining a team that values high clinical standards while also recognising the importance of a positive and sustainable working environment - where people support each other and enjoy coming to work.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking an experienced, VCI registered veterinary surgeon who is confident managing a varied caseload and enjoys both medical and surgical work.

You’ll be a strong communicator, a team player, and someone who thrives in a collaborative setting. An interest in surgery or a particular clinical area would be a bonus, but most importantly, you’ll bring a positive attitude and commitment to excellent patient and client care.

Please note: this role is not suitable for new graduates or those requiring close day-to-day mentorship.

Flexibility That Works for You

We are ideally looking for a full-time vet working a 4-day week, but we are open to discussing part-time or flexible options for the right candidate. We aim to accommodate individual preferences where possible, balanced with the needs of the clinic.

Comprehensive Benefits Package (subject to pro-rata)

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

6.4 weeks annual leave, inclusive on bank holidays

Additional holiday entitlement for your birthday

Paid maternity, paternity, and adoptive leave packages

Company Sick Pay & Bereavement Leave

Access to EAP & Wellbeing Centre

Join a Practice That Invests in You

At Raheny Veterinary Hospital, you’ll be part of a team that genuinely cares — about patients, clients, and each other. With exciting improvements underway and a supportive culture already in place, this is a great opportunity to build a rewarding and sustainable career.

If you’re ready to enjoy your work, grow your skills, and be part of a team that has your back — we’d love to hear from you.
