Working in Scotland
Locumlink have now expanded further in to the UK locum market by expanding services to Scotland. We've gained valuable experience working with the NHS in Northern Ireland over the past eighteen months, which has provided us with the ideal platform to make this move.
With more and more UK based doctors registering with Locumlink we feel that in time we will be capable of achieving the same level of success in Scotland as that experienced in Ireland.
Locum jobs in Scotland can range from one day to six months. So if it's a weekend shift or something more permanent Locumlink have an option to suit. Longer locum positions can be split to accommodate a your availability.
Many doctors may be interested in mixing work with a little pleasure. Scotland has some beautiful tourist attractions and doctors based in Ireland can avail of cheap flights from both Ryanair and Aerlingus which both fly in to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
To view a list of our current vacancies please visit our Locum Jobs section.
