The UK is a great place to work as a vet, but before you can do so, there are two things for you to consider: membership of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and your right to work in the UK. We can help with any RCVS registration and visa related questions. Please email our recruitment team: careers@vetpartners.co.uk
