WHY THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO GET A NEW JOB AS A VET

Posted on 29 December 2023

  • Burnt out? 

  • Overworked due to shortage of staff?

  • Colleagues off self-isolating? 

  • Feeling unappreciated?

  • Not enjoying your profession?

Does this sound familiar? A study by BVA in October 2020 showed that 74% of  members expressed that stress and burnout was their top concern. Arguably  the situation has become even worse since this survey as we emerge from  restrictions. Veterinary professionals have had to work hard during the  pandemic and now the surge in pet ownership combined with staff shortages has left many veterinary staff feeling burnt out. 

The good news is that this makes it an absolutely perfect opportunity to look for a job or to consider a change in your position:

  1. Massive shortage of vets – due to the combined influences of Brexit, self-isolating and the pandemic surge in pet ownership. With such a shortage there comes great opportunity. 

  2. High wages – this is an ideal time to negotiate a great salary, also rota, hours indeed the whole package. We are seeing huge salary offers  currently for permanent and locum roles. 

  3. Find your ideal role – whether permanent or locum, hospital or sole charge, indie or corporate, mainly surgical or medical or even working  towards a certificate.  Your ideal role can be crafted for you at this time.  

  4. Location to suit you. Most areas of the UK are in need of veterinary talent. 

  5. Many vet positions are not advertised and we can find your ideal dream position.
