It looks like basically a float vet / float nurse position; they use so many locums these days it must be hugely cheaper to hire someone full time to cover the odd shifts they always have.

Agreed re: floating position. That is how I interpreted it too. With the salary they are paying and perks of being employed, I would imagine it is close to the cost of paying a locum. I would think it is designed to improve clinic standards as a vets now employee will be more committed to and know the systems, protocols, etc better than a series of random locums.

I have asked for information and I'm currently waiting to hear. Thanks for your reply. Are these positions permanent or not then?

It's a new role any queries I would call their recruitment team. I'm a permanent employee at one clinic, these roles have been developed to help with gap coverage at clinics.
