Employee benefits (2026)

Every VetPartners team member has access to the same great benefits, including:

• Health Shield

  Health Shield offers a variety of benefits, including money back on treatments such as dental, optical, prescriptions and flu jabs, wellbeing support and discounts on shopping, days out and holidays.

• Life Insurance

  We have introduced a new life insurance benefit for employees. Having life insurance can help provide peace of mind, as well as ensure your loved ones have a little of the financial worry taken away if the worst happens. Group life insurance will pay out a lump sum to our employees (1 x annual salary) who die while employed by VetPartners.

• Maternity, paternity, adoption and surrogacy leave

  We offer maternity pay of eight weeks full pay, 12 weeks half pay followed by 19 weeks Statutory Maternity Pay. We are also introducing a one-off payment of 5% of expected annual salary when the primary carer returns to work. We offer two weeks of full pay during paternity leave. This also applies for primary and secondary carers during adoption and surrogacy.

• CPD support

  We offer a minimum CPD allowance across the business, which supports colleagues to acquire new knowledge and skills.

• Reward and recognition

  Our Nettie awards celebrate team members who demonstrate our values of being respectful, supportive, dedicated, approachable and working collaboratively.

• Clear and transparent pay scale

  We are ensuring all employees are paid fairly based on their experience, expertise and performance through regular reviews and career development discussion between employees and their manager.

• Wellbeing

  We established our Wellbeing Group in 2017 to support colleagues by ensuring training and awareness is promoted for all, as well as making support available to promote general wellbeing, as well as help those at the point of crisis.

• Annual leave

  We provide a minimum of six weeks holiday, inclusive of bank holidays.
