Professional veterinary recruitment

Are you a Locum Veterinary Surgeon or RVN?

Have you seen what benefits we offer our Vet Seekers Locums?

With the looming IR35 changes / Larger Veterinary Groups stance on this, are you considering the transition to the Umbrella or PAYE route?

We have been speaking to many locum vets and nurses regarding the looming IR35 changes (IR35 has been in place for many years) coming in to force from April 2021, and some groups are also looking at the way they work with self-employed (sole -trader) locums. So with this in mind we have been looking at ways to help those wanting explore the Umbrella (PAYE) avenue.

While working with vet seekers you will receive the following Locum benefits:

You will benefit from a heavily discounted (unique to Vet Seekers) Umbrella Fee's from 3 providers (more to follow)
