What Locums Say

Trusted by 100+ vet practices across the UK

Emma W
Registered Veterinary Nurse (Locum since 2024)

Ronda’s review system changed everything

“I was terrified to start locuming because of all the horror stories about recruiters and being treated badly by practices. Ronda’s review system changed everything — I can see which practices treat locums with respect before I even apply. No more walking into nightmare situations.”

James P
Locum Veterinary Surgeon

My pay was in the bank within 48 hours

“I had a very good experience with the Ronda support team. A practice where I have done a shift delayed my pay due to series of administrative misunderstandings. After getting nowhere with the practice I reached out to Ronda on the app chat function, and my pay was in the bank within 48 hours. Well done team. “

Priya S
Registered Veterinary Nurse (Part-time locum)

I love that I can set my search radius and only get notified about shifts I can actually reach

“As a part-time locum funding my travels around the UK, I love that I can set my search radius and only get notified about shifts I can actually reach. Traditional recruiters would bombard me with shifts 200 miles away. Ronda respects my time.”

Marcus J
Locum Vet with Surgery Certificate

Practices can see exactly what I can do, and I get matched to shifts that need my skills

“The simplified skills profile is brilliant. Instead of filling out 5-page questionnaires for every agency, I update my profile once and I’m done. Practices can see exactly what I can do, and I get matched to shifts that need my skills.”

Frequently
asked
questions

How does Ronda make money if it's free for locums?

Ronda is completely free for locums — always. We charge practices a small fee per completed shift (only after you’ve worked and been paid). This means we’re incentivised to make sure you have a great experience and that practices treat you well. Win-win.

How do I get paid?

You get paid directly by the practice, just like with traditional locuming. The practice is responsible for paying you based on your agreed terms. Coming soon: our automatic invoicing feature will help you generate and send professional invoices in seconds — you’ll be able to edit them for overtime you’ve agreed with the practice. And if a practice is late? Our support team will follow up on your behalf.

What if I have issues with a practice during or after a shift?

Our support team is made up of veterinary professionals who understand the realities of locum work. We’re here via in-platform chat, WhatsApp 07411 510878, email contact@ronda.vet, or phone 020 4539 4560. We’ve helped locums with everything from late payments to shift disputes — you’re not alone.

Can I still work with recruiters while using Ronda?

Absolutely. Many locums use Ronda alongside traditional agencies to maximise their opportunities. There’s no exclusivity — you’re in control of your locum career.

Is there really no catch? Why is it free for me?

No catch. We believe locums do the hard work and deserve to keep what they earn. We built Ronda because we saw how broken the traditional recruitment system was — high fees, poor communication, and zero transparency. By charging practices instead of taking a cut from your rate, everyone wins. Practices save money, you earn more, and we get to build a sustainable business by creating value for everyone.

What areas does Ronda cover?

Across the UK. You can set your preferred search radius and get notified only about opportunities within your travel zone. No more irrelevant shifts clogging your inbox.

Why do I need to verify my identity and complete my profile before applying?

We verify your identity, RCVS registration, and right to work to protect you and maintain the quality of the platform. This verification ensures practices take you seriously and that you’re only competing with genuine, qualified professionals. You’ll also need to complete your skills matrix in your profile so practices can see your qualifications and match you to appropriate shifts. This protects you from being sent to shifts you’re not qualified for and helps you stand out for the work you do best.
