Part 2: Further to our original post in December last year on umbrella companies for locum veterinary staff (https://www.glvets.com/lets-talk-about-umbrella-companies/) we had requests from readers looking for additional information. We listened and we will be filling any blanks from the last one. First up is an important one for all locum staff- veterinary surgeons particularly. Are you insured when working through an umbrella company?  We always advocate ‘professional’ locums (i.e. full time locums) to register with the VDS annually – https://www.glvets.com/what-is-vds-cover/ Dec ember 2020 blog.  The answer depends on which umbrella company you locum through. We mainly work with I4 Group and Churchill Knight.

GLG Recruitment have extensive experience recruiting for global veterinary jobs:. With the veterinary profession covering all corners of the globe we are finding more and more people are working abroad. Of course veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses are no different. There has always been a strong migration between the UK, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.  We are all English speaking countries and there are similar practice standards or education and practice.
