Staff Testimonials

“I have worked with the team at fill-ins locum for only a short time and I am only leaving as moving away, but it’s been an amazing experience to work for such a well-run and organized team. I have loved meeting new people and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I would never go back to working in practice as locuming keeps you on your toes and makes your days so much more interesting. I would highly recommend working with these group of girls.”

Daisy

“I have been a dental nurse for fill-ins locum since 2019, and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Working for Heather and Mark is great as they are super friendly and approachable. Heather always looks after her nurses and is always there if we have any issues, all the nurses are friendly and great to work alongside too. I feel lucky to be a part of such an amazing agency and I wouldn’t choose any other.”
