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.
All Steph's jobs...
This well equipped practice is highly regarded in the local community and has its own dedicated OOH facility as the team are committed to providing continuity of care that can be relied upon 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They offer a wide range of general practice treatments (including high level orthopaedics and endo-surgery) and operate at a high clinical standard, the business constantly works to raise standards of veterinary care in the region and as a nurse training practice, continue to develop and invest in their team as part of their ethos.
The role includes a broad range of first opinion practice from consulting to surgery to lab work-ups; all consults are 15 minute appointments with double appointments as appropriate.

The Vets work as a team with their own, separately staffed OOH facility – they have a team onsite 24 hours a day. Therefore there are no Out Of Hour shifts with this role. The weekend Saturday hours (8am - 4pm) are shared proportionately, approx 1:4 (moving to 1:6 when fully staffed). After a Saturday worked you will be given the following Monday off as time in lieu and so will always have a 2 day weekend.
