👋 A quick update from me — and why I’ve been a little quieter on here recently.

Alongside running Leapfrog Recruitment, I’ve been working towards a long-time personal goal of mine: becoming a Pilates teacher. I’m really proud to say I’m now teaching regular weekly Pilates classes in the Harrogate area. 🧘‍♀️

Leapfrog Recruitment is still very much here supporting veterinary practices & veterinary job seekers — but I’ve taken some time to refine how I work to make things clearer, simpler and more transparent for everyone.

A few updates you’ll notice:

✔️ The website has been refreshed and all vacancies listed are live and up to date (no more historic roles sitting there for years).

✔️ Pricing is now available on the website — clear, transparent and with discounts available for independently owned practices.

✔️ The best way to get started is to email me in the first instance to discuss your hiring needs or job search criteria. If needed, we can then arrange a call or video chat to talk things through.

Leapfrog Recruitment continues to focus on supporting veterinary practices & professionals, connecting them to fulfil career goals and hiring needs.

Thanks for continuing to follow the journey, do get in touch if you’re hiring or job searching,
