RIG Vet Recruitment is a specialist veterinary recruitment agency focusing solely in the provision of locum and permanent veterinary staff throughout the UK – efficiently and effectively.

The team at RIG Vet Recruitment team have extensive specialist recruitment experience, as well as the in-house services of qualified and practising veterinary staff. We consistently provide a friendly, professional, efficient, and personal service to veterinary staff looking for locum positions or permanent roles, and to veterinary practices searching for new employees.

With an extensive database of veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, and other veterinary staff, we are able to quickly and efficiently screen the right person for your veterinary practice, whether it be small animal, equine, or mixed...

Why are we unique?

At RIG Vet Recruitment, we handle every part of the recruitment process.
Extensive screening (including credentials verification, referencing, background checks) and interviewing of locums by our in-house qualified Vet before a candidate’s details are submitted to the hiring practice. This will reduce the amount of time you spend recruiting, because we will find the right locum first time.
Negotiation of rates will be carried out by RIG Vet Recruitment, and not by the locum and practice. This will ensure that both parties are happy, without the difficulty and sometimes embarrassment of negotiating with each other.

Contracts of employment will be drawn up by RIG Vet Recruitment before the locum commences the contract. Once you have decided on the locum, we will generate all the necessary legal paperwork - saving you time to concentrate on running your practice, and ensure that both parties are legally covered throughout the duration of the contract.

All payments to the locum will be organised through RIG Vet Recruitment and we will invoice your practice. This ensures that the locum is paid regularly and that the invoices you receive are correct each and every time.

We will be in regular contact with both the locum and practice throughout the duration of the contract to make sure everything is running smoothly and to sort out any issues should they arise or contract extensions.
