What is Locum Finder?
Locum Finder is an online platform
used for connecting pharmacy locums and pharmacies in both retail and hospital
pharmacies across New Zealand. The Website works as follows:
- Pharmacy locums can register with the website
- Pharmacies (pharmacy owners/managers) can register the pharmacy with the website
- User (pharmacy locum and Pharmacies) will then receive an email used to register in order to use our website
- If a Pharmacy has an available shift, they may automatically post a vacancy.
- Pharmacy locums can lookup available shifts (Note that there is unlimited access to the website booking system, but only registered locums requests will be processed)
- If a Locum wishes to provide the services, they can directly contact the pharmacy via “Apply Now”.
Though we highly encourage pharmacies
to contact all locums on the list, it is the Pharmacy’s discretion to use the
list and/or informing unsuccessful locums about the outcome of their application.
Our services are solely to act as a communications platform provider. As such,
we do not endorse nor give any guarantees in respect of any Pharmacies or
Locums.
