Veterinary Nurse Opportunity

Shenick Veterinary Centre, Skerries, Co. Dublin

Full-time \u007C Permanent

Salary: €32,000 – €40,000 DOE

Start date: June/July 2026 (flexible)

A Rare Opportunity to Join a Clinically Driven Team

Opportunities within this practice don’t come around often — making this a truly unique chance to join a highly respected, clinically focused veterinary team. Whether you’re a 2026 graduate ready to launch your career or an experienced RVN seeking a fresh, progressive environment, this role offers the perfect balance of support, autonomy, and professional growth.

The Role: Varied, Hands-On & Rewarding

This is a full-time position (40 hours across 5 days) with a 1 in 3 weekend rota, offering excellent exposure across all aspects of small animal nursing. You’ll be actively involved in:

Surgical and theatre nursing

Medical and clinical care

Inpatient monitoring and recovery

Dentistry and radiography

Laboratory diagnostics

Infection control and dispensary management

Client communication and education

You’ll be trusted with genuine responsibility, while always supported by an experienced and collaborative team. Whether you're building confidence or expanding your expertise, you’ll be encouraged to develop at your own pace and truly feel part of the practice.

Working Hours:

Monday–Friday: 8:30am – 6:30pm

Saturday: 9:30am – 4:00pm

No out-of-hours, overnight, or Sunday shifts

Enjoy a role that supports both clinical excellence and a healthy work-life balance.

About the Practice

Shenick Veterinary Hospital is a modern, purpose-built facility designed to support high standards of clinical care. The practice is fully equipped with digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, as well as laser therapy and hydrotherapy facilities.

The hospital itself is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with separate wards for cats and dogs, a large prep and procedure area, two operating theatres, an isolation ward, and multiple consultation rooms. Staff facilities are equally well considered, with comfortable break areas and ample workspace, creating an environment that is both professional and enjoyable to work in.

Established in 2014, the Skerries practice serves the wider communities of Skerries, Rush, and Lusk. You’ll be joining a close-knit and collaborative team of vets, nurses, and support staff who are genuinely committed to delivering high-quality patient care.

A Strong Clinical Network

As part of a wider group that includes sister clinics in Balbriggan and Stamullen, the practice offers access to a wider clinical network of experienced veterinary professionals, including certificate holders. This means opportunities for internal referrals, collaboration on cases, and ongoing clinical mentorship are always available, helping you continue to grow and develop throughout your career.

About You

We are looking for a veterinary nurse who takes pride in their work and enjoys being part of a supportive team environment. You will either be registered with the Veterinary Council of Ireland or due to qualify in 2026 and eligible to register.

A positive attitude, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for patient care are essential. You should be comfortable taking initiative, open to learning, and eager to contribute to a team that values collaboration and clinical excellence. This role is open to all experience levels, from newly qualified nurses looking to build confidence to experienced RVNs seeking a fresh and rewarding challenge.

Why Join Us?

We believe that investing in our people is the key to great patient care. Here’s what you can expect when you join our team:

Work Life Balance & Wellbeing

22 days annual leave (pro-rata)

Birthday leave

Paid maternity, paternity, and adoptive leave packages

Paid bereavement and sick leave

Employee Assistance Programme & wellbeing centre access
