City Vets, Waterford City
Full-time or Part-time, Permanent
Salary up to €45,000
At City Vets, we believe our people are at the heart of everything we do. We're now looking for a friendly, motivated Practice Manager to join our close knit team in beautiful Waterford city.
This is a full-time role with an option for part-time, designed to offer flexibility and work-life balance. Whether you're looking to fit work around other commitments or simply value protected time off, this role could be a great fit for you.
What You'll Be Doing
As Practice Manager, you'll be a key part of our leadership team, and helping the practice thrive. Your day-to-day will include:
* Keeping the practice running smoothly - staff, rota, stock and office management
* Supporting and motivating our fantastic team
* Handling finances, reporting and liaising with the central operations team
* Helping with recruitment, HR and staff development
* Building strong client relationships and supporting our practice reputation
* Getting involved in business development and practice growth initiatives
It's a role where no two days are the same - and your ideas and input will really make a difference.
Why Join Us?
We care about our people and want work to fit around your life, not the other way around. Here's what you can look forward to:

* No Sundays, Bank Holidays, or OOH work
* Enhanced annual leave (including birthday leave!)
* A supportive team environment where your wellbeing matters
* Career development opportunities - with training and mentoring available
* A competitive salary, up to €45,000 FTE, plus benefits
About You
You don't need to be a veterinary professional - but you do need to be a confident leader who enjoys working with people. We're looking for someone who is:
* Experienced in management or leadership; ideally in a service based/customer-focused environment
* Friendly, fair and approachable with strong communication skills
* Organised, proactive and ready to support the team
* Positive and resilient, able to handle challenges with a calm, can-do attitude
If you have experience in veterinary, business, or practice management, that's a plus - but what's most important is your proven ability to lead, support, and motivate a team.
