UK-Locums Ltd

Useful Info For Doctors

The UK's fastest growing locum agency with doctors in mind.

Short Term Locums: Short-term work, by its very nature, comes in at very short notice; weekend work normally becomes available on a Thursday or Friday, and evening work on the same day or the previous day. Hospitals anticipate that doctors undertaking this type of work may need to arrive after 5pm and leave earlier than 9am. Locums are paid for the hours they actually work unless agreed otherwise.

Long Term Locums: Locum work arises from vacancies by holidays, sickness, unfilled posts and unexpected vacancies. Most posts are for one or two weeks initially, although they are often extended. Agency locum work is well rewarded. Vacancies normally come in the week before they are due to start but sometimes at longer notice. It is helpful to be flexible regarding the job location in order to be fully employed.

Substantive Placements: UK-Locums Ltd., will endeavour to find a suitable substantial placement for you. This service is free of charge. Once we have located a position for you and you are successful in the recruitment process you will become an employee of the respective trust.
