Part-Time Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon | Wicklow | 1 Hour from Dublin

An established independent small animal practice in Wicklow is looking to welcome a part-time Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly, close-knit team.

This role would suit a vet who enjoys first-opinion companion animal practice and is looking for a supportive environment with flexibility, strong clinical standards, and a varied caseload.

The Role
You’ll manage a mix of consultations and routine small animal surgery, with scope to develop particular interests such as dentistry or internal medicine. Clinical support is available from experienced colleagues, including a senior vet with additional qualifications. Some experience is preferred, as occasional sole charge will form part of the position.

Working Pattern

  • Approximately 20 hours per week
  • Saturday mornings on a shared rota (9:30am–12pm)
  • No out-of-hours
  • Rota negotiable

The Practice
A modern, well-equipped independent clinic with in-house laboratory, ultrasound, digital radiography and dedicated surgical facilities. The team is collaborative and supportive, with a strong focus on patient welfare and client care.

Located in Wicklow, just around an hour from Dublin, the practice offers the perfect balance of accessibility and lifestyle — close enough to the capital while enjoying the scenery, coastline and outdoor living that Wicklow is known for.

About You

  • VCI registered or eligible
  • Some post-graduate small animal experience preferred
  • Confident in first-opinion consults and routine surgery
  • Team-oriented and approachable

What’s on Offer

  • Salary €60,000–€70,000 DOE FTE 
  • VCI and VDS fees paid
  • CPD allowance and paid CPD days (pro rata)
  • Supportive independent environment
