We are very pleased to announce that Joel Thompson has been promoted to Associate Director this month. Joel has been with the firm since 2015 and has consistently demonstrated his skill and passion for Veterinary Recruitment covering Veterinary jobs in the North Home counties. As well as managing our Bristol office, Joel strives to be a consistent resource of high quality Veterinary Staff to the practices he works alongside. And a reliable professional recruiter to the staff he finds work for. He will continue to run his own desk supplying locum vet surgeons and veterinary nurses/ reception staff.

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.
