About Us

We understand how busy businesses and locums are, therefore Locums Direct was created.

Locums Direct is a new and innovative locum booking software developed in partnership with locum optometrists and practice directors. Through the use of automated technology, we connect employers and locums together, with one simple click.

Employers can post a new locum request, which is automatically sent to all the locums registered within our database. Instant notifications are sent to both employer and locum as confirmation, once the booking has been accepted. As the shift approaches, both parties will receive reminders of the upcoming booking.

Why sign up to Locums Direct as an employer?
