If you choose to go permanent, we’ll do everything we can to place you, in your perfect position.

Advantages of becoming a permanent vet

A permanent position looks good on your CV. It can show commitment to a company, helping you build your career and professional gravitas. Perhaps yielding more rewards like promotion, which you won’t be eligible for on a fixed contract.

The industry has been listening to what vets say they really want. With 85% of the industry now owned by corporates, the workplace has changed. A work life balance has become one of the most important requirements. There are more specialist night roles, meaning no OOHs for many of the practicing vets. Practices now have a referral culture, with veterinary students specialising more or building on their talent with other qualifications.

In return for the above, you may be offered some of the below as part of your package.

A permanent job as a vet can give you financial benefits and a steady lifestyle. An opportunity to settle in an area and get to know your local clients.

Moving from locum to permanent

We understand that to locum is perfect at some stages of your life and career. Working in different locations may have shown you new pastures; somewhere you had not thought of living. Now you may want to settle and buy a house. However, if you are not sure if you are ready to take the leap back into permanent work, we have a lot of part time and fixed term contracts. With these you still have the opportunity to locum or have an end date to join the locum world again on a full-time basis. We find in most cases; our vets and veterinary nurses love the role so much they tend to stay!
