Because of a shortage of qualified veterinary professionals, coming to work in the UK is less difficult for vets than most other professionals. The Department of Education and Employment website explains the technicalities behind gaining a work permit - but things can be a lot less technical if your employer is used to handling countless applications like yours. Companion Care is just such a company. We have a team of experienced professionals at Support Office who can help smooth and speed the process.

Becoming an RCVS Member

You will also need to be registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to work as a vet in the UK. Their website provides excellent information - and we can provide any additional help you need.

Settling in

Then there are the practical things such as finding a place to live, setting up bank accounts and travelling around. Companion Care can help you solve these problems long before you fly over - so you can focus on making the most of your new opportunities in the UK. Having assisted other vets similarly, we are in a good position to quickly provide you with answers, often before you even knew there was a question.
