Student Veterinary Nurse – Twilight / Emergency (OOH)
Job Description
Student Veterinary Nurse – Twilight / Emergency (OOH)
AllPets Veterinary Hospital, Drogheda, Co. Louth
Part-time, Permanent | Sundays & Bank Holidays
Launch Your ECC Career While You Study
Are you a student veterinary nurse looking to gain hands-on experience in a real clinical setting?
This is a fantastic opportunity to build your confidence, develop practical skills, and gain exposure to emergency and critical care cases alongside your studies.
At AllPets Veterinary Hospital, we’re introducing a brand-new out-of-hours emergency service, and we’re looking for a motivated student nurse to join our twilight team.
A Role Built Around Your Studies
We know your studies come first — that’s why this role is designed with flexibility in mind:
* Sunday & Bank Holiday shifts: 2:30pm – 7:30pm
* Optional overnight back-up on-call during the week (outside term time / college hours)
This means you can gain valuable clinical experience without impacting your coursework or placements.
Develop Your Emergency & Critical Care Skills
You’ll be working in a busy hospital environment, supporting a varied and interesting caseload, including urgent and emergency patients.
This role is ideal if you’re curious about, or hoping to pursue a future in:
* Emergency & Critical Care (ECC)
* Hospital-based nursing
* Advanced clinical practice
With access to excellent facilities — including in-house diagnostics, imaging, surgical theatres, and inpatient care — you’ll gain exposure to real cases that will accelerate your learning.
Support Every Step of the Way
You’ll be part of a friendly, experienced, and collaborative team who are passionate about helping student nurses grow and succeed.
This is a supportive environment where you can:
* Ask questions
* Build your practical confidence
* Learn from experienced vets and nurses
Who We’re Looking For
To be considered, you must:
* Be currently enrolled in an accredited Veterinary Nursing degree programme in Ireland (Bachelor of Science qualification)
* Be eligible for VCI registration upon completion of your qualification
* Have a genuine interest in developing your clinical and ECC skills
* Be enthusiastic, proactive, and keen to learn
Why This Role Stands Out
* Gain real clinical exposure alongside your studies
* Build experience in emergency and critical care
* Work hours that fit around college commitments
* Boost your confidence before qualifying
* Set yourself up for future career opportunities in ECC
Start Building Your Future Now
This isn’t just a part-time job — it’s an opportunity to get ahead, gain experience, and stand out as a newly qualified nurse.
If you're keen to learn, grow, and explore emergency nursing, we’d love to hear from you.
