2.1 million people opted to bring a pet into their family since the start of the pandemic and according to the Vet Salary Report 2022, pet ownership isn't the only thing that’s on the up - with veterinary wages climbing 24% in the same period.

In their fifth annual report – the first since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic – Recruit4Vets has dug deep into the data, uncovering the latest salary ranges and hourly rates for both veterinary surgeons and nurse practitioners across the permanent and locum sectors.

Key findings of the report include:

The team of experts at Recruit4Vets have also looked into Employee Net Promoter Scores to evaluate employee engagement within the industry, pulling out key drivers for overall job satisfaction and the potential reasons behind the current rate of employee churn. The report cites poor management and long working hours as key issues within staff engagement and retention.

Phil Snowball, Director from Recruit4Vets said: “As the first report we’ve conducted since the pandemic, it’s incredibly interesting to see how a combination of societal and political shifts have impacted the veterinary industry.

“Monitoring salaries and employee engagement rates are key for understanding current and future trends within the sector, not only from a cost-forecasting perspective but also to help leaders understand how to work to reduce staff churn – a major issue facing veterinary practices today.”
