Rob James

Rob has been with GVC since 2019 and heads up the Locum Team – supporting veterinary professionals and practices right across the UK. Alongside the everyday challenges of the job, he keeps things simple as a recruiter: communicate with honesty, act with integrity, and have a laugh along the way. 

With previous experience working for a tools and machinery supplier, raising five cats growing up, and dabbling as a teenage musician, he’s always the one people want to “get the guitar” at socials.

Happy Place: On a safari in South Africa, or a mini cruise around Croatia

Favourite Animal: Foxes (“like a weird cross between a cat and a dog”)

Starbucks Order: Vanilla Latte

Fun Fact: Snowboarding in recent years
