Locum Information Hub

We won’t penalise you for rejecting offers if they’re not suitable. If we notice a lot of rejections, then we like to give you a call to go through your booking preferences as we probably need to adjust your settings to generate more suitable job offers.

Nothing! Our service to locums is totally free. We charge no registration or membership fees. We also don’t take a percentage of your earnings either.

Following GPhC guidance, we are not able to book current or previous MPharm students as a locum dispenser or locum technician. You must have an NVQ (or equivalent) accreditation in dispensing for us to be able to book you into the role.

Give us a call to discuss this, we’d love to talk to your about your circumstances and location, together we should be able to figure out the best settings for you. TOP TIP: To maximise the number and variety of locum jobs you have access to, consider being as unrestrictive as possible when setting your preferences.

At Pharmaseekers we do a lot of behind the scenes work to try to make sure the locum job offers you see are current and still needed. However, there are still some occasions when we might not have the most up to date information about a certain job. The company might have covered it themselves only moments ago or they may have forgotten to tell us they no longer need the cover. Sending your offers to the company to finalise allows us to make sure you’re not booked for a shift that’s no longer needed.

In short, No. When you register with us, we will point out the direct clause of our Terms and Conditions before you agree to them. Companies and locums adhering to the direct clause is what allows us to provide and maintain a vast array of locum job opportunities. It’s nothing unusual and is considered standard practice when working with agencies. Simply put, if your first booking and/or introduction to a company was facilitated and arranged via Pharmaseekers then all future work you complete for that company must come via Pharmaseekers. Even one locum working directly with a single company we have introduced them to is detrimental to our business and impacts the service we provide to all our locum and pharmacy business users. If you are found to have breached our Terms and Conditions we will have to close your Pharmaseekers account and cease providing you with our service.

We’ll be here with full support whilst you start your journey with Pharmaseekers. This includes letting you know what companies look for in a locum. We ask for and feed constructive criticism back to our locums as most pharmacy businesses look for the same qualities in their locums. Being made aware of potential areas of improvement can benefit your future practice. Locums who display the below qualities usually generate very positive feedback from the businesses they locum for. • Punctuality • Reliability • Approachability • Proactivity

On our locum job offers, we will indicate to you if the customer has already rejected a particular rate for that job. It will list what was rejected and when it was rejected. This information will allow you to better understand the customer’s position and assist you in making well informed booking offers.

Yes, we have a wide variety of locum pharmacist job vacancies on our system. They’re just waiting for you!

All our locums have different booking preferences. Some book part time, some book full time. If we also take into consideration the impact of a locum’s location on the rate they achieve, no two locums are the same on our system. As a result, there is no accurate average salary figure. For a better idea of what you would be able to earn in your area, get in touch with one of our team who will have current, relevant information for you.

If you’d like to know more about how we work first, head over to our Locum Info Hub page. At Pharmaseekers our two main methods of giving you access to locum jobs are 1) traditional locum job offers and 2) Circulated Vacancy Search (CVS). Traditional locum job offers are single job offers, sent to you by our team and system. They are offered to you based on your availability and other factors such as minimum rate of pay, travel preferences etc. These offers, as with all of offers, are at your discretion to accept or reject. Circulated Vacancy Search (CVS) allows you to search through all our available locum jobs within a reasonable mileage distance (you can decide this distance). You choose the dates you want to search on and you get to choose the locum jobs you want to make offers on. You can make multiple offers for the same date to increase your booking chances for that date.
