No sales pitch — just a straight answer on whether we're the right fit.

Locum vet reviewing admin on a tablet between clinic shifts.
  • Shift patterns that don't match tax years.
  • Agencies that pay on 60 days.
  • CPD crammed into your one day off.

We get it. And we've done this for years.

A week in the life, sorted.

Here's what a typical week looks like when you're working with us.

  1. Monday 07:15

    Driving to the first clinic.

    Joy Pilot logs the mileage. You don't lift a finger.

  2. Wednesday 18:40

    Finished a shift. Dictate the invoice on the drive home.

    Agency invoice sent before you're parked.

  3. Thursday 21:00

    Scrolling through the day's kit purchases. Snap the receipts.

    Categorised as you scroll, filed by year-end.

  4. Friday

    You're off.

    We're filing your VAT. No calendar reminder needed.

  5. Any day that matters

Joy Pilot for locum vets.

Between clinics, between shifts, between hands — the admin has to happen somewhere that isn't your kitchen table.

A chat in the car park.

Voice-drive the bits of admin you'd normally put off. Dictate invoices between shifts, log expenses on the fly, and ask Jodie — the AI assistant built into Joy Pilot — the things you'd otherwise chase your accountant for.

  • "Invoice Beech Lane Vets, three-forty-five, Monday shift."
  • "Add £48 expense for scrubs."
  • "How much tax do I owe?"
  • "Any invoices overdue?"

“I love this company! When I started my own Limited Company I was completely clueless as to the administrative/accounting side of things and the team at No Worries were amazing and so patient in walking me through everything.”

The things locum vets actually ask us.

It depends on your day rate, how much you want to keep in the business, and whether you're taking agency work. We'll run the numbers on a free call and recommend the right setup — no pressure either way. Compare the limited company and sole trader packages while you decide.
The usual ones: mileage between placements, RCVS registration, VDS cover, CPD courses, professional subscriptions, clinical kit, scrubs and laundry, and a fair share of home office costs. We'll tailor the list to how you actually work.
Only once your turnover crosses the current £90k threshold. Plenty of locum vets go over it without realising — we'll monitor it and handle the VAT registration when the time comes.
Joy Pilot logs each trip and categorises it, so by year-end you've got a clean, HMRC-ready mileage record — no scribbled notebooks.
Usually within a couple of weeks. Sign up and we'll write to them, request your records, and get you set up on Joy Pilot. See our switching guide.
