Small Animal Clinical Director

Castle Vets - Clondalkin, Dublin, Ireland

Are you an experienced Small Animal Vet looking to take the next step in your career? Are you keen to share your knowledge and expertise with your wider team?

About us:

Here at Castle Vets, we are looking for a new Clinical Director to join our friendly team at our fully equipped practice in Clondalkin, on the outskirts of Dublin.

For the past 25 years we have been committed to providing high quality, friendly, trusted, and affordable veterinary care. We are currently a team of 5 vets, 4 supportive qualified nurses, a welcoming receptionist, and an enthusiastic animal care assistant.

We try to keep things light-hearted in the clinic, there's always a joke to be had and someone to do a coffee run if necessary (because who really likes instant). Our clinic is fully equipped with up to date medical and surgical facilities, digital x-ray and our own in-house laboratory, but if there's equipment we don't have we'll do our best to get it for you.

Our new clinical director will be joining us at an exciting time of full clinic refurbishment.

Who we're looking for:

• Our ideal candidate will be a small animal clinician with several years' experience.
• Previous experience in leadership will be an advantage, and further clinical & leadership development will be supported.

The role:

• Salary from €70,000-€90,000, dependent on experience.
• No OOH.

The Area:

The historic village of Clondalkin is located in west Dublin. There's something for everyone, from the hustle and bustle of Dublin city centre, which is just 6 miles away, to beautiful parklands right on your doorstep. Clondalkin is also a great place for families, with a leisure centre, village festival in June and plenty of other activities to enjoy.

Great benefits apply as part of the VetPartners group:

• Enhanced Annual Leave
• Full access to EAP and Healthshield
• Employer pension contributions
• Paid charity day
• Paid VCI & VDS and an additional professional membership
• Enhanced maternity, paternity & adoption leave

The closing date for applications is 15/08/2025
