Apply Now: Veterinary Surgeon

Salary: Up to €70,000 commensurate with experience

About The Role

Anicare Veterinary Group, a leading small animal veterinary provider in Dublin, is inviting applications for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our well-established Santry practice. We are seeking a confident and skilled veterinary professional dedicated to delivering exceptional clinical care across consultations, surgical procedures, inpatient management, and emergency cases.

This is a four-day-per-week position, with weekend duties averaging 1.5 weekends every six weeks.

This position also offers an excellent opportunity to shape the future of the practice. Whether you aim to develop a certificate, specialty or pursue further qualifications, we provide full funding for certificates, diplomas, and PhDs.
