UK Medical Locum Agencies


UK Medical Locum Agencies: Let's Link You To The Best!



Are you looking for a medical job in the UK? There are tens of UK medical locum agencies out there you can register with today to find you choice UK medical jobs. You can take some time off your current job for leisure or during periods of research and do some locums. Earn some good money!

The demand for locum doctors in the UK is high. This is especially so in specialties like emergency medicine (A&E), anaesthestics, psychiatry, and the Surgical specialties.

Get the best jobs out there by registering with at least three top quality UK medical locum agencies. We bring you a regularly updated list of top medical agencies in the UK below.

Most of the UK medical locum agencies are contractually tied to the NHS National Frame work - a body that regulates the activities of locum agencies, supplying available jobs to the locum agencies, and determining the rate of payments to the agencies. Jobs tend to go our to agencies that are registered with the NHS National frame work first, and where they are unfilled by agencies who belong to this frame work, such jobs are sub contracted to locum agencies who are not registered with the National Frame work.

The later group of agencies thus pay more than those who are tied to the NHS frame work.

If you have decided to work as a locum doctor, why not register with at least one of the agencies on the NHS National Frame Work Contract, as they tend to get more jobs and over a wide region.

It is often smart to register with as many locum agencies as possible and across various regions of the UK, to ensure continuous supply of jobs in times of few locum jobs. By so doing, you are also better positioned to be able to negotiate rates and know when rates go up.


Medical Locum Payment Rates

The rates paid by locum agencies varies greatly as just been said. Those agencies who have "National Frame Work" contracts tends to pay less for same amount and grade of work done. However, because they charge the hospitals a little lesser than their counterparts who are not part of the NHS National Frame Work Contract, the tend to have more jobs available.

Rates since July 2008 are as follows:

  • SHO / FY2 ... £30 to £38 per hour (PAYE) and up to £45 per hour (Limited Company)

  • ST1 to ST2 ... £35.00 to £40.00 per hour (PAYE) and up to £50.00 per hour (Limited Company)

  • Middle Grades, sPR, ST3 to ST5 ... £45.00 to £55.00 per hour (PAYE) and £55 to £70.00 per hour (Limited Company).

  • Locum Consultant Grade / G.P ... £65.00 to £100.00 per hour (PAYE) and up to £205.00 per hour (Limited Company)

On bank holidays and for last minute bookings, you can negotiate for more.

Ask when you call for the availability of referral bonus. You can earn extra money by referring a friend to these agencies. Some will pay you as much as 200 to £500.00 for a referral once an agreed amount of locum hours have been done by the doctor referred.


Register As a Limited Company

If you are into full time locum work with these UK medical locum agencies, why not discuss with your accountant to see if registering a limited liability company may help you to enjoy some tax benefit.

Many end up paying 40% tax, when they can easily pay 20% or less, by routing their payments via a limited liability company.

If you are a doctor interested in getting further details on how a limited liability company membership can save you a lot on tax, we can help. Please contact us here.
