Job description

Overview

Practice Manager (Part-Time, FTC)
All Care Veterinary Hospital, Killarney, Co. Kerry

Salary up to €45,000 FTE

At All Care Vets, we believe our people are at the heart of everything we do. We're now looking for a friendly, motivated Practice Manager to join our close knit team in beautiful Killarney.

This is a part-time role (2-3 days per week, plus 1 in 3 Saturdays) on a fixed-term contract, designed to offer flexibility and work-life balance. Whether you're looking to fit work around other commitments or simply value protected time off, this role could be a great fit for you.

What You'll Be Doing

As Practice Manager, you'll be a key part of our leadership team, and helping the practice thrive. Your day-to-day will include:

• Keeping the practice running smoothly - staff, rota, stock and office management
• Supporting and motivating our fantastic team
• Handling finances, reporting and liaising with the central operations team
• Helping with recruitment, HR and staff development
• Building strong client relationships and supporting our practice reputation
• Getting involved in business development and practice growth initiatives

It's a role where no two days are the same - and your ideas and input will really make a difference.

Why Join Us?

We care about our people and want work to fit around your life, not the other way around. Here's what you can look forward to:

• Flexible working - part-time hours tailored to suit your lifestyle
• No Sundays, Bank Holidays, or OOH work
• Enhanced annual leave (including birthday leave!)
• A supportive team environment where your wellbeing matters
• Career development opportunities - with training and mentoring available
• A competitive salary, up to €45,000 FTE, plus benefits

About You

You don't need to be a veterinary professional - but you do need to be a confident leader who enjoys working with people. We're looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in management or leadership; ideally in a service based/customer-focused environment
• Friendly, fair and approachable with strong communication skills
• Organised, proactive and ready to support the team
• Positive and resilient, able to handle challenges with a calm, can-do attitude

If you have experience in veterinary, business or practice management, even better - but what matters most is your ability to lead, support and motivate.
