Take Your Clinical Career to the Next Level

If you’re an experienced small animal vet ready to develop your expertise, deepen your clinical focus, and work towards a certificate or advanced skillset, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity to do just that.

At Tullamore Pet Hospital, we are looking for a vet who wants more than a standard GP role. This is a position where you can shape your own clinical pathway, with full support and investment from a team that is committed to helping you grow.

Build a Pathway into Advanced Practice

We have the caseload, facilities, and clinical support to help you take the next step towards certificate-level or referral-standard work.

Whether your interest lies in ultrasound and imaging, surgery, or another developing discipline, you will be encouraged to pursue it. The practice actively supports further training and will invest in your development, giving you the time, resources, and mentoring needed to build real expertise.

With several vets already holding certificates in Internal Medicine, you’ll be working alongside experienced colleagues who can support case discussion, collaboration, and progression, while giving you the space to grow your own area of interest.

A Hospital Where You Can Do Your Best Work

This is a modern, well-equipped hospital with strong in-house capabilities. From advanced diagnostics and imaging to surgical facilities and a full lab, everything is in place to allow you to work cases up thoroughly and to a high clinical standard.

The environment is professional but relaxed, with a strong emphasis on teamwork, open communication, and clinical pride. You will be part of a team that supports each other, shares knowledge, and genuinely enjoys coming to work.

A Role That Balances Challenge and Lifestyle

The rota is designed to be fair and sustainable, allowing you to remain clinically engaged while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

You’ll work a structured week with a shared out-of-hours commitment, including a 1 in 4 Saturday rota and very light on-call duties. Your time off is protected, ensuring you can properly switch off and recharge.

Why Tullamore?

Tullamore offers the best of both worlds — a central location with easy access to Dublin, combined with a more relaxed pace of life and lower cost of living. It’s an ideal base if you want career progression without the pressure of city living.

Who This Role Is For

This role is suited to a confident and experienced small animal vet who:

You are comfortable managing a routine caseload and enjoy taking ownership of your work. You are motivated to develop further, whether that is through a certificate, advanced imaging skills, or another clinical interest. Most importantly, you value being part of a supportive team and are excited by the opportunity to grow your role over time.

VCI registration is essential.
