A Role with Variety, Support and Clinical Freedom

At Tullamore Pet Hospital, you'll enjoy a varied caseload spanning consultations, diagnostics, medicine and surgery within a modern, well-equipped hospital environment.

We're strong believers in clinical freedom and encourage our vets to approach cases in the way they feel is best for their patients. You'll have the autonomy to manage cases confidently while benefiting from the support of experienced colleagues who are always happy to discuss cases and share knowledge.
