Veterinary Recruitment as it Should Be - Honest, Ethical & Transparent

About us

Vet Jobs Agency was founded from a desire to do veterinary recruitment better. We offer both permanent and locum recruitment services and cover the whole of the UK. What makes us different? We place integrity and customer focus at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to building enduring relationships that benefit you in the future. You are not just a ‘client’ or a ‘candidate’ to us; you're a valued partner, and we are committed to your success. We are very selective who we work with, and for us it isn’t about how many jobs, or people, we can get on our books. Our aim is to provide a reliable, quality service, which means only working with the most reputable practices and veterinary professionals. Our Fees Low overheads mean that we don’t have crazy targets – which always result in people being treated as a commodity - so we can offer a certain amount of flexibility with regards our fees. As well as a traditional ‘percentage of annual salary’ option, we also offer a fixed rate. This is based on a short period of exclusivity (after which you’re free to send it out to other agencies), with rates agreed up front. As always, the fee is only payable once a placement is made, which ensures your vacancy is worked properly, rather than just stuck on a few job boards & hope for the best. We understand how crucial it is that the right people join your team, and this option allows you the flexibility to increase your offer, where necessary, to secure that ‘unicorn’ without having to pay extra to the agency as well. It’s about securing the right person for the job, and we’re here to make that happen. If you're looking for staff, or looking for work, please get in touch for a no obligation chat to see how we might be able to help. Email: recruitment@vetjobs.agency Mob: 07870 128923

    Director and Veterinary Recruiter at Vet Jobs Agency

    I’ve been ripped off by mechanics so many times, that I am convinced they’re all con men 🤬   That was my overriding thought as I drove in to get a tyre checked this morning.   I fully expected to come out poorer than I went in, but instead, after running various checks, they didn’t charge a penny and most importantly, didn’t try to sell me anything else!   Their integrity has now guaranteed that the next time I need a garage, they will be the one I go back to, and I’ll definitely recommend them to others.   The whole experience got me thinking about how many people in the veterinary space harbour similar feelings of mistrust & dislike for recruiters!   Granted, there are some real shockers out there, BUT I can assure you that not all recruiters are made equal 😇   Vet Jobs Agency was founded on a desire to develop long-term relationships that will benefit all parties into the future. Guidance and support come as standard, whether we’re currently working together or not, and ‘hard sell’ is not in my vocabulary.   As an employer or a job seeker, if you want a recruiter with integrity and experience, who prioritises your needs, rather than their bottom line, then I’d love to hear from you.   Email catherine@vetjobs.agency or give me a call on 07870 128923 * cheesy quote image to pacify the algorithm 😊

    ✨This week marks 9 whole weeks since Vet Jobs Agency was launched ✨ I’m Catherine, Founder, Director (and at this early stage, every other job title you can think of) at Vet Jobs Agency. With over 200 followers already, I thought now would be a great time to say THANK YOU! and write you a short introductory post. 🐾How did Vet Jobs Agency come about? • Having spent the last 8 years in veterinary recruitment I’ve witnessed firsthand a lack of ethics, trust, and transparency within the industry. • Something needs to change but in true ‘I’m alright Jack’ fashion, very few people seem willing to disrupt the status quo. • It was time to either ‘put up and shut up’, or ‘be the change’….so here I am! 🐾Why work with Vet Jobs Agency? • You want to feel valued & great customer service is important to you. • You like the idea of having your own personal agent working hard on your behalf, so you can get on with the day (or night) job, knowing your job search is in safe hands. • You want the continuity of partnering with the same person throughout the entire process. • You don’t work ‘office hours’ so you need someone who is available at any time (within reason), to answer any questions or concerns you may have. • You think ghosting is a despicable trait (so do I, it works both ways). 🐾What makes Vet Jobs Agency stand out from the crowd? • Honesty, integrity & customer focus – these are at the heart of everything I do. • I value people over profit and am not bound by crazy sales targets. • Cost effective fees & flexibility – yes, I have bills to pay, but I also like to sleep soundly at night. • Developing & nurturing long term relationships with select practices & individuals is the aim, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. I promised you a short post, so I’ll leave it there for now. If you would like to have a chat about any of the above, or how we may be able to work together in the future, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me an email at catherine@vetjobs.agency or call me on 07870 128923

    Are you a passionate and skilled veterinary surgeon eager to elevate your career within a practice where the welfare of animals is paramount? Look no further! I am currently working on behalf of a proudly independent veterinary practice sandwiched between the Dales and the Lakes. They are on the lookout for a third vet to join their team for the long haul but they’re also extending a unique opportunity for you to potentially become a partner in their practice down the line. Imagine having the chance not only to apply your clinical expertise but also to play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of the practice. This isn't just about being another employee; it's about having a stake in a thriving veterinary business and leaving a lasting impact in the lives of animals and their owners. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, your dedication will ensure that every pet owner who walks through the doors receives top-notch care and compassion. This small, highly skilled team is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of care and client satisfaction. Naturally, you're driven to provide exceptional medical care. Thanks to the purpose-built facility and state-of-the-art equipment you'll have everything you need to excel in your practice. But it's not just about the clinical aspect. You'll also collaborate closely with your colleagues to develop and implement practice protocols and standards. Building strong client relationships through effective communication and empathy will be second nature to you, as will contributing to the growth and success of the practice through strategic planning and business development initiatives. The team pride themselves on providing a personal, professional service to pets and their owners, and the continuity that comes with being a small, dedicated team. Appointments are never rushed, allowing you ample time to work up cases properly. Your proven track record of excellence in clinical practice, coupled with your strong leadership skills and collaborative approach to teamwork, make you the perfect fit for this role. And they haven't forgotten about your well-deserved downtime. With three-bed accommodation conveniently located above the clinic and an area of outstanding natural beauty right on your doorstep, your leisure time will be filled with opportunities to explore the great outdoors. But the perks don't end there. As someone with your level of experience and ambition would expect, salary starts at £75,000. If you're ready to take the next step in your veterinary career and become a valued partner in this dynamic practice, I want to hear from you! Please submit your CV and cover letter outlining your qualifications and why you're interested in joining the team as a partner, to recruitment@vetjobs.agency quoting ref VJ-0324-2000 in the subject line.

    If you want to work with an agency who prioritises people over profit, and you’re not afraid to pick up the phone, then welcome! As an independent agency, we are not driven by crazy targets and therefore we don’t have to clog up your social feeds with irrelevant job ads. Instead, we work on a more individual basis, with both job seekers and practices, and aim to develop trusting relationships over the long term. However, in order for this to happen most effectively, we need to have a chat at some point. This involves having an initial phone call with an actual human being, and we realise this is anathema to many people these days, but we promise we don’t bite! The people who make the time to speak to us are the ones who stick in our minds – personality cannot be conveyed on a CV but if we’ve had a conversation, we are able to tell the practice far more about you as a person and a potentially great fit for their vacancy. Equally, practice culture cannot be properly understood from reading the About Us page on a website. Listening to a practice owner enthuse passionately about their staff, the practice values and their plans for the future is far more compelling and makes the role of filling that position far easier. ☎️If any of this resonates, and you’d like to try us on for size, please do get in touch with Catherine on 07870 128923. Alternatively, if you’re reading this in the middle of the night, but you still want to get in touch, feel free to send me a DM 😊 (Photo by Sandy Millar on Unsplash)
