I joined Bright Leaf Recruitment in March 2015 and looked after the Locum bookings for the first 2 years before moving over to permanent recruitment in April 2017. I still look after locum bookings but focus most of my time on permanent placements now. I thoroughly enjoy speaking with candidates and clients and helping them to find their ideal match in the veterinary industry.
Outside of work my 2 young daughters and husband keep me busy and when we’re not running the girls to swimming lessons or gymnastic clubs we enjoy family days out and weekends away.
Myself and my husband also like to get involved in charity events for our local Hospice and as the girls get older they also want to get more involved in events such as the annual Colour Run and Midnight Walk.
I currently work part time (Mon-Fri 9-1pm) whilst my daughters are at school, however as they get older and more independent, I hope to increase my working hours as it’s such a rewarding job and a fantastic place to work.

Our fantastic Independent client are looking for an Emergency and Critical Care Vet to join their night team on a permanent basis.
The night vets work split shifts, either 4pm-12.30am or 10.30pm-9.30am, to allow them to pursue their passion for ECC without becoming exhausted. The team understand that some of the best ECC vets require flexible working so we will consider both full-time and part-time applicants.

Most of all you should have a team-mentality as this is a close-knit, friendly practice.
This is an RCVS accredited practice with genuinely friendly, approachable managers and directors.
On offer is:
* Basic salary of 40-57.5k dependent on experience and further qualifications.
* 1500 CPD allowance plus 35h paid per year to complete CPD. Further support for certificates available and encouraged.
* VDS fees paid, as well as one subscription of your choice (eg. BSAVA, VECCS, VIN).
* 5.6 weeks’ holiday per year (non-annualised hours contract)
* Excellent working relationships with our Member Practices.
* High clinical standards with extensive point-of-care diagnostics available to facilitate this.
* Interesting, varied caseload with lovely, committed clients who want the best for their pets.
* Support overnight from a fantastic team of night RVNs and ANAs.
* On-site Specialists and Advanced Practitioners in cardio-respiratory medicine, imaging, ECC and endoscopy.
* Exposure to a wide range of equipment including CT, laparoscopy and extensive in-house blood machines.
* Lots of other benefits including enhanced sick pay, private health insurance, discount for staff pets, ability to bring your dog to work, on-site free parking, and contributory pension scheme.
