Use the workplace as the destination
A shift in Penarth, Barry, Caerphilly or Pontypridd needs its own travel plan. Plan right through to the workplace, including the last connection and the return trip.

Check South Wales transport updates
Transport for Wales provides journey planning and South Wales Metro information. Check the working date and allow time to reach the workplace from the station. List any change of workplace across a block of dates.
Describe the role and Welsh service requirements
Specify the clinics or duties, systems and experience needed for the practice role. For community pharmacy cover, name any Welsh pharmacy services, such as the Common Ailments Service, and check the preparation required. A service with a similar name elsewhere may work quite differently.

Register for freeWe’ll review each request against suitable availability. Cover is confirmed only after the locum, duties, dates, required checks, pay and terms are agreed. Having a page for a region does not mean we have locums available there.
Remote work and local requirements
A remote assignment still needs a defined service location, approved access, agreed duties and support from the practice. Identify any induction or sessions that require attendance. For every role, confirm the professional registration and other requirements for the country and work involved.
