Things you should know before becoming a locum

Invoice Generator (Optometry Locum)

If you’re working at a smaller optometrist, which doesn’t have a set invoice template, you may, at times, find providing your own invoice a little inconvenient. For years, Team Locum has offered a basic template for locum optometrist invoices.

But such a template still needs to be printed out, and carried by the optometrist. So, as technology marches forward, we thought we’d try to help a little further, with a simple, interactive invoice generator. Once you’ve entered your details, this page will do the calculations for you, and create a formatted invoice which you can then print, save, and/or email to a client.

Creating your invoice is easy. Click here to open a form and enter the relevant details. When you’re ready, hit the “Make invoice” button.

Should a Locum Agency Be Run By Healthcare Professionals?

More than ever in entrepreneurial circles, it seems, there’s a belief that anything is possible. Business is, after all, a world bursting with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Proclaim it; live it.

As one Derek Trotter would have said: “He who dares, wins“. But is setting up and running a healthcare locum agency really that simple? Is it true that any old smooth-talker with a computer and a telephone can make a success of such an agency? I mean, provided the locums are qualified and know what they’re doing, that’s fine… Isn’t it?…

“I have worked with Grant for more than 2 years now and since the first point of contact he has found me the best and most convenient work available. This is aided because we have a good working relationship and anything I’ve needed help with he has been able to provide an answer/solution to.”

“Grant helped me find the perfect role available for what I was looking for. He took the time to understand me, listening to both my personal and professional needs which meant he could get a few tailored options across to me. Because I was urgently searching for a role, we were able to get the interview dates pushed to as soon as possible and he provided me with regular contact and updates from there.”

“I have a wonderful working relationship with Grant and over the past three years I have built a trust with him which has allowed me to leave my diary open for him to book in what shifts he knows I will want. If there have ever been any problems with any of my dates, then he has been on hand at anytime to help answer and sort these out. Team Locum are my go-to for locum work and I’d recommend them to anyone looking on either a locum or permanent side!”

"Excellent locum agency. Highly recommend. Since being qualified, I have had nothing but support and professionalism by this A team. Kyrie and Paul have always gone the extra mile as well as other members of staff I’ve had the pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for an agency that will get you the rates, root for your success and listen to your needs - sign up already"

"I first registered with Team Locum as a Locum Optometrist back in 2017 and I've never had a problem dealing with them. Anytime there was an issue with being double booked etc. Team Locum always fought to make sure I was paid as the problem was usually on the optician's booking side. My main dealings have been with Paul Jeffs and Kyrie Samuels and both have always made a big effort in making their emails as personable as possible and making sure I felt looked after!"
