Locums Aren’t a Backup Plan – They’re Your Best Asset

There is a common misconception across the healthcare system that locums are a fallback option. A stopgap when staffing is tight. A temporary fix until a permanent solution is found.

The reality is quite different.

Locums are often the difference between a functioning service and a struggling one. They cover urgent gaps, reduce pressure on permanent staff, and prevent care delays. At Hunter Gatherer AHP, we work with the very best of them.

Our locums are not just available. They are experienced, capable, and ready to make an immediate impact.

The Quality of Your Locums Depends on Who You Work With

We are not a volume-driven agency. We do not send CVs for the sake of it or pass across every candidate on the market. Instead, we have built a carefully selected network of Allied Health Professionals who have been fully vetted and referenced, many of whom have worked with us for years.

They include:

  • Occupational Therapists
  • Physiotherapists
  • Speech and Language Therapists
  • Radiographers
  • Sonographers
  • Pharmacists
  • Biomedical Scientists
  • Dietitians

These clinicians are adaptable, professional and highly capable. All are ready to step into new teams and deliver results from day one.

Why So Many Services Choose Hunter Gatherer AHP

We understand that when you need a locum, you need someone quickly. But you also need someone right. That is where we come in.

  • Every candidate we submit is fully compliant and referenced
  • We work at speed without compromising on quality
  • Our consultants are specialists in their disciplines, not generalists
  • We provide support throughout the assignment, from onboarding to timesheets

Locums Are Not a Last Resort. They Are a Strategic Advantage.

It is time to reframe the way we think about locum clinicians. They are not a second choice. They are often the most flexible, experienced, and resilient members of the workforce. And with the right recruitment partner, they can be a key part of your long-term staffing strategy.
