Full or Part-Time | Maternity Cover | September 2025 Start
I’m working with a well-regarded small animal practice in Mullingar that’s looking for a confident vet to provide maternity cover for around 15 months from September 2025. This is a great chance to step into a busy yet supportive clinic with no on-call and a genuinely nice team.
The Role:
This is a first opinion small animal role covering consults, surgery and diagnostics, with a varied caseload and strong client relationships. The practice runs with 2 vets, an RVN, an ACA, and a hands-on practice manager, so you’ll have a close-knit support network.

1 in 2 Saturday mornings (9am–1:30pm)
No Sundays, bank holidays or on-call
Location Perks:
Mullingar is a lively town with great transport links and plenty going on — the clinic itself is within walking distance of the bus and train stations.
What They’re Looking For:
Minimum 2 years’ small animal experience
Confident with routine surgery, medicine, and consults
Registered (or eligible) with the VCI by September 2025
Someone who enjoys a busy caseload and working as part of a team
Benefits Include:
Competitive salary (DOE)
€1300 CPD allowance + 5 days CPD leave
VCI & VDS fees paid
22 days annual leave + birthday leave
Paid maternity/paternity/adoptive leave
Sick pay
Bereavement leave
Company pension
Discounted vet fees,
This would suit an experienced small animal vet who wants a friendly, well-organised clinic, a steady and varied caseload, and zero on-call.
