The Pet Hospital, Waterford

Full-time, Part-time or Flexible Working Options

Permanent \u007C Salary up to €70,000 DOE

A Veterinary Role Built Around You

At this stage of your career, you know what you enjoy and just as importantly, what you don’t. At The Pet Hospital and City Vets in Waterford, we’re offering a genuinely flexible opportunity for an experienced small animal vet who is confident in first-opinion practice and ready to take on a more senior, influential clinical role. Whether you see yourself as a strong all-round GP, a surgically confident clinician, or someone who enjoys guiding and supporting others, this role can be shaped to reflect your strengths and interests.

This isn’t about squeezing you into a pre-defined box. It’s about building a role that makes sense for you and allows you to practise at a level that reflects your experience.

Two Practices, Endless Variety

Whilst this role is primarily based in The Pet Hospital, this position gives you the unique opportunity to work across two very different but closely connected practices, depending on what suits you best.

The Pet Hospital is a smaller, community-focused practice with a loyal client base and a steady, varied GP caseload. It’s ideal for experienced clinicians who value continuity of care, strong client relationships, and the ability to make meaningful clinical decisions in a supportive, close-knit environment.

City Vets, our larger sister hospital, provides exposure to a broader and more complex caseload, with advanced diagnostics, surgical work and collaboration with colleagues who hold a wide range of interests and additional qualifications.

Make the Role Your Own

If surgery is where you thrive, we can weight the caseload accordingly and support further development. If you take pride in being an excellent, well-rounded GP, you’ll have the autonomy and case variety to continue practising at a high standard. If you have a niche interest you’d like to develop, or formalise through a certificate, we actively support and fund this. Your experience is valued here, and your interests won’t be sidelined - they’ll be encouraged.

This role is well suited to an experienced vet or aspiring lead clinician who enjoys remaining hands-on while also providing clinical guidance, support and mentorship to junior colleagues when needed. You’ll be trusted to manage cases independently, contribute to clinical standards, and act as a sounding board for less experienced vets - without the pressure of heavy management or administrative responsibility. Leadership here is about experience, approachability and good judgement, not titles or red tape.

Flexible Working That Actually Means Flexible

We’re open to full-time, part-time or tailored working patterns, and we’re happy to discuss rota structures that genuinely fit your life. Whether that’s condensed hours, fewer days, predictable shifts or a balance across both practices, we’ll work with you to create something sustainable and enjoyable. Out-of-hours and weekend commitments can be discussed openly and are shared fairly, with balance always front of mind.

A Supportive, Professional Environment

Across both practices, you’ll be working with experienced, approachable teams who value collaboration, mutual respect and good clinical standards – without ego or micromanagement. This is an environment where experienced clinicians are trusted to do their job well, supported when needed, and appreciated for the experience they bring to the team.

Who This Role Will Suit

This position is suited to a VCI-registered veterinary surgeon with at least a few years’ experience in first-opinion small animal practice, who is confident in consultations and routine surgery and comfortable working with a degree of autonomy. You don’t need to have held a formal lead title before - but you should be clinically confident, reliable, and happy to take ownership of your work and support others when needed.

Why Waterford?

Waterford offers a brilliant quality of life - coastal walks, beaches, a lively food and café scene, and a strong sense of community, all with a more relaxed pace than larger cities. It’s an easy place to settle, whether you’re relocating or commuting.

Rewarding You Properly

In addition to a competitive salary, you’ll benefit from a comprehensive benefits package:

Work Life Balance

22 days Annual Leave

Birthday Leave (paid day off on your birthday)

Focus on Employee Wellbeing

Paid Maternity Leave Package

Paid Paternity Leave

Cycle to Work Scheme

Full access to EAP and Wellbeing Centre

Development
