Join a Team That Truly Cares
Do you have a passion for animals and a genuine desire to make a difference in their lives? At All Care Vets, we're more than just a veterinary clinic - we're a close-knit team built on compassion, respect, and a shared love for animals. We're now looking for a dedicated Animal Care Assistant to join us in providing the highest standards of care to our patients and their owners.

This is a full-time, permanent position, working 40 hours per week across 5 days. There are no Sunday or Bank Holiday shifts, ensuring a healthy work-life balance.

What You'll Do
As an Animal Care Assistant, you'll play a vital role in supporting the smooth running of the practice and the wellbeing of every pet in our care. Your responsibilities will include feeding, exercising, and comforting animals, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, and assisting our clinical team during treatments and procedures.

You'll also be the friendly face that welcomes clients at reception - answering calls, scheduling appointments, and providing empathetic support to pet owners. Every day is varied, and your contribution will make a real difference both to our team and to the animals we treat.

About All Care Veterinary Clinic
Nestled in the scenic town of Killarney, Co. Kerry, All Care Veterinary Clinic has been proudly serving the local community since 1983. Over four decades, we've earned a reputation for delivering compassionate, high-quality care with a personal touch.

Our practice is fully equipped for a broad range of services, including laparoscopic procedures, orthopaedic surgery, digital x-ray, in-house laboratory diagnostics, and dental care.

You'll be joining a small, friendly team of one veterinarian, three veterinary nurses, and a practice manager - a group that values teamwork, open communication, and lasting client relationships.

Applicant Requirements
We're seeking someone who is compassionate, reliable, and takes pride in providing excellent care and service. You should be calm under pressure, able to handle sensitive situations with empathy, and confident multitasking in a busy environment.

A QQI or equivalent qualification in Animal Care is required, and while previous experience in a veterinary or animal care setting is an advantage, it's not essential - enthusiasm and a caring attitude are what matter most.

Benefits (Subject To Pro Rata)
We offer a competitive salary along with great benefits (subject to pro rata), including:

  • Leave: Annual Leave, Birthday Leave, Paid Maternity, Paternity, Bereavement, & Sick Leave
  • Wellbeing: Cycle to Work Scheme, EAP Access, Free Flu Jabs, Discounts (Retail & Virtual Gym), & Access to Company Programmes (LGBTQ+, Wellbeing, etc.)
  • Career Development: Career Progression, Leadership Academy, Paid Professional Memberships (VCI & VDS), Annual Pay Reviews
  • Financial Support: Employer Pension Contributions, Discounted Staff Pet Veterinary Fees

Ready to Join Us?
If you're ready to take the next step in your animal care career and become part of a supportive, community-focused team, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and start your journey with All Care Veterinary Clinic - one paw at a time.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds. As a BAME and LGBTQIA+ inclusive and Disability Confident Employer, we encourage diversity and inclusion in all that we do. Please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process.
