The Role

We're looking for a Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly and supportive hospital team in Raheny. This role is suitable for both:

• New graduate nurses – we'll provide full support, structured training, and mentorship.
• Experienced nurses – we'll encourage you to continue developing and will fully fund postgraduate certificates if you'd like to pursue them.

Your duties will be varied, including clinical nursing, surgical rotations, inpatient care, and running nurse clinics. With no out-of-hours or on-call, you'll enjoy a healthy work-life balance while still being part of a busy, rewarding hospital environment.

Raheny Veterinary Hospital has been proudly serving the local community for generations, building trusted relationships with pet owners who value our approachable and compassionate care.

Our hospital is modern, well-equipped, and designed to handle a wide variety of cases. Facilities include two fully equipped operating theatres, an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, dental suite with dental X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, ECG and blood pressure monitoring, and laparoscopic equipment. We also provide 24-hour emergency cover, ensuring continuity of care when it's needed most.

What really sets us apart is our team. With 8 experienced Vets, 7 skilled Nurses, 2 Animal Care Assistants, and 9 support staff, we're a close-knit, collaborative group who genuinely enjoy working together. From reception through to theatre, every team member plays a vital role in making sure our patients receive the very best care. If you're looking to join a practice where high clinical standards go hand-in-hand with a friendly, supportive culture, Raheny Vets could be the perfect place for you.
