Drafting and review of employment contracts and HR documentation for UK veterinary roles: vets, RVNs, receptionists, practice managers, and casual or freelance arrangements. Role-appropriate terms, plain English, no recycled office template.
Clinical responsibilities, out-of-hours expectations, CPD, notice periods that reflect how hard cover is to find.
Registered status, Schedule 3 boundaries reflected sensibly, shift patterns and on-call terms written down properly.
Part-time and weekend patterns, overtime expectations, and clarity that prevents small misunderstandings becoming disputes.
A role that touches money, people and medicines deserves better than a generic manager template. Authority and accountability spelled out.
Arrangements that reflect how casual work really runs in practice, with holiday accrual handled correctly from the start.
Engagement terms for freelance cover that are honest about status, scope and expectations on both sides.
Turnaround is agreed when we quote and honoured. If your need is urgent, a new starter on Monday, say so and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done well in time.
Vet HR provides HR consultancy and documentation support. We are not a solicitors' practice and do not provide regulated legal advice. Where a matter needs a solicitor, such as litigation or a settlement agreement, we say so plainly and help you brief one well.
Many practices start with a single new hire, then bring the rest of the team into line role by role. Fixed quotes per document or per suite, in writing before any work starts.
A review first. It is cheaper, it tells you exactly what is wrong, and sometimes parts of what you have are perfectly sound. The review report prices the rewrite precisely, so you never pay for drafting you did not need.
Yes. One role, one document, fixed quote. Many practices start exactly this way and widen the work later.
Carefully and honestly. Engagement status depends on how the relationship really operates, not just what the paper says, so we document the arrangement you actually run and flag anything that needs a specialist's eye.
Fixed quotes per document or per suite, in writing before work starts. Reviews are quoted separately from drafting, so the steps stay optional.
A contracts quote starts with a quick conversation about your roles. Plain English, fixed price, no obligation.
