Locuming doesn’t tend to be a lifelong career decision. Many pharmacists locum to bring in extra money or work every hour God sends to pay off student loans. Some pharmacists just get sick of management responsibilities and locum in-between jobs.
One thing I would advise against if you decide to apply for a new position is going direct to a potential employer. When you think about it, you are putting yourself in a very weak position because in affect, you are going cap-in-hand asking for a new job. The chances of you obtaining unbiased advice is nil as the job of the people you will speak to are paid to recruit pharmacists as cheaply as possible.
Using an agency makes much more sense. Pharmfinders, Sterling Cross and PL-UK will all help you to find you your new job and the advantage they have is that pharmacy operators go to them to find new staff putting the locum in a much stronger position. Offers of £3-5,000 more than normal offers when candidates go direct are common.
