Hi Lucy,

Firstly congratulations on almost completing your training! I am a nurse consultant for Recruit4Vets and from what you have written locum work would be perfect for you. Although i help nurses find locum and permanent work i love finding locum work for people. You can travel, visit places you wouldnt normally, make new friends and expand your proffesional and life experience! All whilst being paid an excellent hourly rate (between £12-£15 per hour) and have accommodation provided!

If you want to explore animal welfare jobs either overseas or in the UK locum work can also be a great way to save up and offer flexibility of dates to suit you.

Please feel free to contact me on here. call 01423 701321 or email olivia@recruit4vets,co.uk and i am more than happy to help/ answer any questions you may have.

Hope this helps,

Olivia Walls

Hi Lucy,

If you are young and have no ties and have an interest in travelling I would suggest you take the opportunity and explore what the world has to offer!

There are plenty of older RVN's with ties, families, mortgages etc. who are unable to travel and would love to be able to - or regret not doing it when they had the chance! I'm lucky to still be able to travel and work overseas and can' recommend get out there highly enough.

We are lucky to be in a profession where qualified nurses are like gold dust - I don't think it will impact in any way on your employability, I certainly have never had problems finding work after periods overseas.

Locum work may be ideal for you to fund your travels and also to help you gain experience working in all sorts of varied environments - what ever you do... enjoy!
