Locate a Locum is a platform that connects locum pharmacists to pharmacies. Rates are set by the hiring companies/pharmacies. We do not get involved in the negotiation of daily or hourly locum rates.

How does it work for pharmacies & pharmacists?

Pharmacies post shifts on our site, these shifts are made available to pharmacists, said pharmacists then apply directly to the hiring pharmacy through our platform.

Users of our platform can search for shifts which carry rates that the individual pharmacist feels is appropriate for them. We never take a penny from any locum who uses our platform to book shifts.

Factors to consider

There are also location specific variations to consider when searching for locum work on our platform. The rates in Northern Ireland are traditionally lower than those found throughout parts of England, Scotland and Wales.

This is indicative of market forces in these areas. Market forces include population density, average wages, local economy, availability of work, number of locums in that area, etc.

What we offer

What we do offer, for free, is a centralised platform where a pharmacist can search and apply for shifts in relation to the date, rate and location of their choosing. You can manage your diary and build working relationships with over 8,000 pharmacies across the UK. We're adding over 12,000 shifts every week that you can apply for in less than 30 seconds.
