Veterinarian Position
I am a passionate and dedicated veterinarian with extensive experience in animal health, food safety, and public health. Originally from Turkey, I have worked in various veterinary fields, including livestock health, pet care, food hygiene, and official veterinary controls.
Between 2017 and 2019, I successfully managed a pet hotel in Scarborough, UK, providing high-quality care for pets and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. After this experience, I returned to Turkey and continued working at the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Livestock.
Since moving to the UK as a Skilled Worker in February 2024, I have been working as an Official Veterinarian at Eville & Jones, where I have gained significant experience across 15 different processing plants as a Relief Veterinarian. This role has allowed me to develop expertise in animal welfare, compliance with regulations, and food safety standards.
I am still adapting to life in the UK and continuously enhancing my skills in international veterinary standards. My technical skills and field experience enable me to provide ethical and high-quality veterinary services.
For me, "work-life balance is essential". I believe that maintaining a healthy and fulfilling personal life not only improves well-being but also enhances professional performance. I strive to find roles and environments that support both career growth and personal time, ensuring sustainability in my profession.
I am always open to networking and collaboration in the fields of veterinary medicine, animal welfare, and food safety.
