About the Raheny Clinic We’re based right in the heart of Raheny, and although we’ve only been here a year, we already feel deeply rooted in the community. We pride ourselves on truly knowing our patients and believe in continuity of care, our pets see the same vet every time. Our client base is genuinely lovely, with many regulars popping in for a quick hello as they pass. We’re a compact team of six working in a spacious, modern clinic, with plans to grow as we continue to welcome new clients. You’ll be joining two enthusiastic vets with strong interests in surgery and internal medicine, a highly motivated RVN passionate about nurse consults, and two brilliant Animal Care Assistants who keep everything running seamlessly. And the location perks are unbeatable: we’re just 500 metres from St. Anne’s Park and 2 km from Bull Island Nature Reserve, perfect for pre‑ or post‑work walks as the days get brighter.

  • Conduct regular 1‑2‑1s and reviews to support team development and engagement
  • Collaborate closely with the Lead Vet to drive clinic culture, performance, and team cohesion
  • Carry out additional duties as required to support smooth clinic operations and uphold Village Vets standards
About You
  • Currently registered with the VCI and bringing 3+ years’ experience as an RVN
  • Confident working in a progressive, team‑focused environment with strong communication and time‑management skills
  • Competent in clinical decision‑making, able to work both autonomously and collaboratively
  • Skilled at training, guiding, and supporting others within the clinical team
  • Professional, well‑presented, self‑motivated, and trustworthy with a conscientious approach to patient care
  • Desirable: Previous small‑animal practice experience, Head Nurse experience, or additional VN‑specific qualifications
What’s in it For You… At a Glance In addition to our fabulous teams and supportive environments, we’re proud to offer a benefits package that supports our team’s wellbeing, growth, and families:
  • Health cash plan
