The Medical Locum team coordinates short term bookings for all supplementary medical staff within NHS Lothian. This includes doctors from FY2 to Consultant level, GPs and Dentists.

We are looking for individuals who are hard working, reliable and dependable and able to work on an ad hoc flexible basis often at short notice. Please note that work can be varied across the Lothians and is not guaranteed.

Regular And Flexible Work Patterns

Applicants are required to evidence current GMC Registration (including entry on Specialist Register if at Consultant level) on application and at point of interview. Successful candidates will be required to undertake online mandatory training and complete a PVG Disclosure Scotland application.

Benefits of joining the NHS Lothian Medical Locums

NHS Lothian Medical Locum workers have complete control over shifts worked. You can take on a longer placement to have regular shifts or opt to take ad hoc roles when you have spare time. It’s entirely up to you.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
