Veterinary Surgeon – Westmeath

• Join a modern, well-equipped hospital featuring digital radiology, ultrasound, endoscopy, and in-house Idexx analysers to support top tier veterinary care.
• Work alongside a friendly, close knit team of veterinary professionals who truly value collaboration, clinical excellence, and shared success.
• Enjoy a varied and fulfilling caseload including consultations, surgeries, and farm visits offering the perfect mix for a confident, experienced vet.
• Benefit from a competitive salary and generous benefits package, with the opportunity to thrive in a supportive, professional environment in beautiful Westmeath.

Set in the heart of Westmeath, this dedicated veterinary hospital is seeking an experienced and confident Veterinary Surgeon to join their close knit and passionate team. With state-of-the-art facilities including Digital Radiology, Ultrasound, Idexx Blood Analysers, and Endoscopy, the practice is well-equipped to handle a diverse and rewarding caseload, providing both routine and emergency care to a loyal client base.

The team is small but mighty—comprised of 3 Veterinary Surgeons, a Registered Veterinary Nurse, a student Veterinary Nurse, and 3 fantastic support staff—creating a warm, collaborative environment where everyone plays a vital role. The successful candidate will step into a role filled with variety, from general consultations and surgery (including neutering, dentals, and emergencies) to farm calls and case management, all while working alongside a supportive and experienced team.
