How to choose the perfect Locum Job

Locum Work Made Simple

Choosing the right locum jobs doesn’t have to be a challenge. Medecho makes the process as easy as possible by using our online locum job search. Here you can search for locum jobs according to set criteria:

  • Specialty
  • Job title
  • Location
  • Grade

When choosing from our long list of locum doctor jobs, keep the following in mind:

  • Seniority
  • Period of employment
  • Accommodation requirements
  • Salary expectations
  • Hours that you will have to work
  • Whether it is in the private sector or NHS
  • Whether you will take your family along
  • How long you will need to make your arrangements
  • How much money you are hoping to make
  • How many hours you are willing to work
  • Your preferences, for instance do you operate better in a high pressure environment or a tranquil rural hospital?

Since locum jobs are normally advertised for a specific period with a short lead time, you will need to have your documents ready to hand. As such please ensure that you have completed the GMC registration process, have your vaccination certificates, understand which visa requirements will apply, have completed the relevant assessments and are ready to take the locum job at the required date.

Your first step should be to ensure that you have the relevant qualifications and experience required in order to do locum work in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. We can assist you with information and as such recommend that you browse through our locum recruitment section for information regarding requirements, specialties, grades, pay rates and assessments.
