Shared by Locums Like You
After leaving a full-time pharmacy job, I tried locum work as a temporary solution. Four years later, I’m still loving it! I’ve traveled all over Australia, helping in areas with healthcare shortages. Thanks to LocumCo, I’ve rediscovered my passion for pharmacy, and their team feels like family.
Working with LocumCo has been one of the best experiences of my career. Pushpa, Sue, and Reshma ensured I was placed in roles that suited my skills and preferences. Their communication is always prompt and professional, and I’ve never felt like just another locum. I always feel valued and supported by a team that genuinely cares.
I’ve absolutely loved the beautiful locations I’ve been placed in. It’s been a privilege to work with such dedicated staff, including yourself. I really admire your vision for our profession and recognise the vital role LocumCo plays in community pharmacy today. Without us, many pharmacies wouldn’t be able to operate. And without your support, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to explore such amazing places and serve communities far and wide.
Working with LocumCo has been an amazing experience! They offer exciting locum opportunities across the country, allowing you to work with top pharmacy teams while enjoying some of the best local attractions. Personally, I’ve had the pleasure of going on unforgettable adventures.numerous road trips and even air trips, each one filled with new experiences and unforgettable memories!
I’ve been with LocumCo for 20 years, working across all states in Australia, and have always been happy with the fairness and professionalism you bring. Your support, advice, and problem-solving are invaluable, and I truly appreciate it.
