Being active on professional networking sites like LinkedIn is essential to ensure you are visible amongst your pharmacy peers. LinkedIn is also the world’s largest professional social network and is full of potential for building your personal brand. We’ve put together some advice and guidance on how best to utilise LinkedIn and to maximise your exposure on the network.

Complete your profile

Make sure you complete your profile and include all the relevant work experience and your educational history. You are also able to add in a short bio section which acts as a personal statement.

Use this space to showcase your skills, experience and personality and let viewers know what you’re interested in. Finally, make sure to include a clear and up-to-date profile picture.

Add Locate a Locum as your employer

We recommend that you add Locate a Locum as your employer on LinkedIn and make your job title “Locum”.

This will show that although you are self-employed you are attached to a company that can provide you with regular locum pharmacist shifts.

Build your personal brand

We have over 8,000 locums using Locate A Locum, connect with them via our profile and increase the size of your network. Building your personal brand online is crucial to establishing yourself as a thought leader within the pharmacy industry. If you are unsure of what to post you could start by introducing yourself to your network, mention areas of pharmacy (or other industries) you are interested in.

Our referral programme involves referring a friend to Locate a Locum and when they work their first shift you both receive a £40 One4All voucher.

There is no limit to the number of referrals you can make and we encourage you to share our referral link on social media.

You are able to find your referral link on your account, these links are unique so we are triggered to automatically send you and your friend the vouchers.
