Yes, flexibility is one of the main benefits of locum work. You can decide which assignments you’d like to take based on your schedule, location preferences, and the type of work you enjoy.

Not at all. Many of our locums start with little or no prior locum experience. As long as you’re clinically competent and meet the registration and compliance requirements, we can help you secure your first placement.

The documents required will depend on the specialty area of the locum role. Generally, you’ll need an up-to-date CV, proof of qualifications and professional registration, photo ID, and recent references. All roles may also require police checks, vaccinations, or other compliance documents.

This varies. Some shifts come up last minute, while others are booked weeks or months in advance. We’ll always give you as much notice as possible so you can plan ahead.

Locums are paid an hourly or daily rate, which varies depending on the role, location, and level of experience. We’ll confirm pay rates before you accept an assignment, and payment is made on a regular basis once timesheets are submitted. We provide full support with invoicing and payments for all locums. For those who require specific tax advice, we have partnered with Hnry, who offer optional additional support if needed.
