• Flexibility – Locum roles offer a good work-life balance and the opportunity to choose when and for how long you are available to work. This allows you to fit your role around family, studies, hobbies or other commitments.

• Experience – There are opportunities to work in many different areas, wards and clinical environments so you can gain experience in a variety of settings before choosing the career path that best suits. Having a range of experience in various environments will also enhance your CV.
