Introduction To Our Candidate Services
Mat & Bow Veterinary Recruitment – Your gateway to a rewarding veterinary career in the UK.
The UK is currently experiencing a substantial shortage in practicing veterinary surgeons around the country.
This has in part been due to a marked reduction in overseas veterinary surgeons choosing to work in the UK.
Brexit has resulted in changes in immigration policies such as the introduction of a mandatory Skilled Working Visa which is suspected to be part of the reason for this change as it requires more planning and added costs for overseas applicants to secure a job as a veterinary surgeon in the UK.
As a result of this shortage, permanent salaries and locum rates have increased in line with demand and resulted in the UK becoming a even more financially attractive country to work in as a veterinary surgeon.
The UK also offers very high regulated standards of practice in the veterinary profession which is an important point of consideration for many candidates thinking about working in the UK.
