Newly qualified pharmacists.

by Shaun Hockey

The end of June will see a the annual influx of eager newly qualified pharmacists onto the RPSGB register. At PL-UK we are keen to get as many of them as possible to join us so we can get as many of them as possible good quality, highly paid positions to start paying off those student debts.

Locums

We are particularly keen to hear from pre-reg’s who are looking to locums across the North of England. We will really look after them as we know, just like when you pass you driving test, you only really start to learn when the “L” plates come off. We ease them into well supported pharmacies to enable them to build their confidence until they get to a point where they tell us that they are confident to try something a bit busier. At PL-UK we never push locums in to anything. From day one, many locums in the North East in particular will earn from £25 upwards.

Pre-reg’s looking for a permanent position

What we recommend for pre-reg’s who are looking for a new permanent  position but haven’t secured one yet is to locum first. The reasoning behind this is that your CV looks much more attractive to potential employers if it has on it that you have worked for Alliance Boots, Tesco’s , LLOYDS ETC. It shows experience and confidence in your ability. As I mentioned  in my previous blog, don’t go direct to the companies use an agency, you’ll secure a significantly better salary.
