I cannot praise Laura and her team enough. I’ve been through a very dark few weeks and even considered leaving nursing but Laura supported me and worked endlessly to find the right role to suit me. I know this was a challenge as I didn’t want just any job, it had to be right. On finding a suitable role they ensured I was ready for interview and even kept up communications before and after the interview. If you want help and full support finding your next career move then I highly recommend these guys.

Helen at VN Recruitment is by far the best recruiter I have used since becoming a locum. She is incredibly friendly and pro-active and always sends me appropriate roles (unlike some other companies who bombard you with everything!)

Once again I cannot thank Manda and Laura enough for the help and support they have both given me. THANK YOU LADIES!!

Holly - RVN - Yorkshire
I first met Laura when I was in my final year at College when we had a careers meeting with her. After finishing my degree I wanted a change in practice, so I contacted Laura. From the word go, Laura was very pro-active in seeking to find a practice which suited my needs. I was always kept in the loop and updated on jobs that had come up which may suit me. This resulted in me successfully finding a position as an RVN. Since then I have recommended a close friend to Laura, who was also successful in finding an RVN job.
I would not hesitate to contact Laura in the future if needed.
Christina - Clinical Manager & RVN - South London
I first used VN recruitment as a locum and I found Laura to be so helpful in finding placements. She fully explains everything and listens to both your own and the practice requirements to ensure a mutual good fit.
After a long term placement and then using other agencies I found myself gravitating back to Laura and VN recruitment for work as found myself in a few frustrating positions.
I am now in full time employment, which is again with thanks to Laura knowing me and my likes and dislikes and suggesting a job that suited me (and the practice) perfectly despite not intending to stop locumming! I have and will continue to recommend Laura and VN Recruitment to others.
