About Us

Locumotive was originally established by veterinary surgeon Rebecca Cook.

Diana Rees, also a veterinary surgeon, took over the company in 2011.

We provide a service for locum veterinary surgeons, RVNs and practices in Bristol and the South West.

As locums ourselves, we have first-hand experience of the challenges involved for locum vets and nurses and veterinary practices searching for temporary staff.

We strongly believe in matching the correct vet or nurse to the correct position.

For this reason, we like to build up a close relationship with locum vets, vet nurses and practices, to ensure our locums are matched to the most suitable positions.

We will usually arrange to meet face to face with new locums whenever this is possible and find out as much as we can about the positions they would like to work in.

This helps us to ensure that locums are placed in the most suitable roles and that the vets and nurses we put forward are qualified for the position the practices have available.
