Crescent Vets in Limerick is a purpose-built Small Animal Hospital seeking to expand their Veterinary team.
Limerick is unique in that daily commutes are short. We are close to the motorway making easy access to Cork and Galway only 1 hour away, with Dublin only 2 hours away! Our hospital is also a short 20-minute commute from Shannon airport making international travel close to hand. The west coast of Clare is only a 40-minute drive, ideal for wind/ kite surfers etc. Our branch surgery is in Castletroy, adjacent to the University of Limerick Campus with all its amenities.
Our close-knit team of professionals is made up of 5 Veterinary surgeons, 7 Veterinary nurses and 4 members of our Support team. Some of our vets are certificate holders in Small Animal Surgery and Ophthalmology, making our day-to-day caseload interesting and varied. Our Clinical Directors are extremely supportive in promoting a friendly working environment with a focus on employee wellbeing and professional development.
We pride ourselves on exceptional care to all our patients and our hospital is well equipped to help us deliver outstanding services.
