Finding Veterinary and Animal Health Roles in 2026
Tame & Wild Recruitment is a specialist staffing agency connecting veterinary and animal health professionals with employers across the United Kingdom. Whether you are seeking locum, permanent, or contract roles, our primary value is providing direct access to unadvertised vacancies within the veterinary sector and business services landscape.
Who pays Tame & Wild Recruitment
Paid by the employer, not by you.
Tame & Wild Recruitment earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.
What that means for you
Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

Sectors
What sectors and roles does Tame & Wild Recruitment cover?
We focus exclusively on the veterinary and animal health sectors, bridging the gap between clinical professionals and business service providers. Our placements range from veterinary surgeons and nurses to support staff and management roles within animal health organizations. We handle permanent positions for long-term career moves as well as locum and contract assignments for those seeking flexibility.
Where you meet
How does the staffing process work for a candidate?
The process begins with an initial consultation to understand your clinical experience, location preferences, and career goals. Once registered, we match your profile against our current vacancies and proactively present your credentials to relevant employers. We manage the interview scheduling and offer negotiations, acting as the primary point of contact between you and the hiring practice.
What should I expect once I engage your agency?
Expect a transparent communication cadence where we update you only when there is a relevant role or a specific update on an application. As a candidate, you never pay a fee for our services, as our costs are covered by the hiring employers. We maintain a professional timeline, aiming to provide feedback after every interview stage to keep your search moving forward efficiently.
Your side
How can I get on Tame & Wild Recruitment's radar?
To stand out, submit a CV that clearly highlights your specific clinical skills, such as surgical proficiency or specialized animal care experience. Use keywords relevant to the veterinary industry and ensure your registration includes your availability for both permanent and locum work. Proactive communication regarding your preferred geographic radius in the UK helps us prioritize your profile for relevant local opportunities.
Is Tame & Wild Recruitment the right fit for my search?
We are the right fit if you are a veterinary professional seeking a partner who understands the nuances of animal health and the specific demands of UK clinical environments. If you are looking for roles outside of the veterinary or animal health sectors, our expertise will not be a match for your needs. We prioritize candidates who value specialized industry knowledge and a focused, sector-specific recruitment approach.

Frequently asked questions
Should I register with multiple agencies at the same time?
It is common practice to register with more than one agency, but you must keep track of where your CV is sent. If two agencies submit your profile to the same employer, it can cause administrative conflicts that may disqualify your application.
What happens to my CV and personal data after I submit it?
Your data is stored securely in our internal database and is only shared with potential employers after we have received your explicit permission for a specific role. We comply with UK data protection regulations to ensure your professional information remains confidential.
Can I apply directly to a job if I am already registered with you?
If you see a job advertised elsewhere that we have not discussed, please inform us first. We can often provide additional insight into the practice or negotiate on your behalf, which is usually more effective than applying as an individual candidate.
What should I do if I disagree with how I was presented to an employer?
If you feel your experience or salary expectations were misrepresented, contact your consultant immediately. We rely on your feedback to ensure our representation of your skills is accurate and aligned with your career goals.
