All Pets Veterinary Hospital is already highly regarded across Ireland for its clinical standards and collaborative team, and this new service is being built to set a new benchmark for emergency care in the region. You’ll be working as part of a dedicated night team of experienced professionals, in an environment designed to deliver high‑quality, consistent emergency care while being fully supported by a well‑established hospital. A Night Role That Actually Supports Work-Life Balance The rota has been carefully structured to give you genuine time to switch off and recharge. You’ll work a 7 nights on, 14 nights off pattern, with shifts running from 6/7pm until the 8/9am in the morning depending on the day. In your second week, there is a light back‑up on‑call requirement to help cover unexpected absence, with time off in lieu returned in your next working rotation. Overall, the role averages under 32 hours per week, offering a level of balance that’s hard to find in ECC – without compromising on salary or clinical exposure. Work at the Cutting Edge of Emergency Care Based in the Drogheda hospital, you’ll have access to excellent facilities including digital radiography, ultrasound, a fully equipped in‑house lab, modern surgical theatres, and dedicated hospital wards. This is a busy, established hospital, so your caseload will be varied, interesting, and genuinely rewarding – ideal for someone looking to build depth and confidence in emergency medicine.

Development is actively encouraged, with funded CPD, support for further qualifications, and paid professional memberships. Who This Role Would Suit This role is ideal for a confident, experienced vet who enjoys emergency work and is comfortable working independently overnight. You would need to be competent in small animal medical and surgical emergencies. You must be VCI registered, and while ECC experience is an advantage, a strong interest and willingness to continue developing in this area is just as important. Due to the nature of the role, it’s not suited to new graduates or those requiring close day‑to‑day mentorship.
