Our dedicated Talent Team comprises of passionate and experienced specialists who enable us to employ the very best vets from all over the world.

Nicola Burnham, our Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, has over 20 years’ experience working in HR and recruitment across a range of industries. Driven by a passion for scouting out the best in the business, Nicola is focused on recruiting UK vets, as well as partnering with universities and supporting internal moves and secondments.

She makes a huge contribution to what we do, sharing her knowledge at careers fairs with visits to several universities across the country.

“I really pride myself in making sure we get the right candidate in the right role,” Nicola said.

“I thoroughly enjoy seeing where I’ve been involved in the recruitment process and that our staff have gone on to progress their careers with a company which is the perfect match.”

Outside of work, Nicola has a passion for gardening and motorsport, and you’ll often find her enjoying these hobbies with her husband and teenage son.

Having previously worked in the food and construction sectors, Nicola is now using her wealth of knowledge to support work experience initiatives and recruit non-veterinarian roles at our Leeds headquarters.

She added: “It’s an important aim of mine to show people how important our Official Veterinarian roles are within the food industry. Attending careers fairs is always a great success and helps with this aim, with a constant stream of students coming to see us and learn about the employment and work experience opportunities that we provide.”

“Working with us, you’d be making a difference by being part of a team whose vision is to safeguard animal welfare and protect the health of millions of consumers around the UK and globally. And with amazing career paths, we have opportunities for you to develop your potential by working in a supportive environment with excellent training that will really help you learn about the profession.”
