Welcome to Universal Locums’ temporary website. We are busy making changes to improve it for you. We’re really excited about the changes that we’re making for the benefit of our Locums and Clients.

As you know, Universal Locums is one of the few long term successful agencies for Allied Health Professionals. We have seen many changes in the UK locum market over the last 18 years, but we’re just as dedicated to service delivery as we were 18 years ago. We’re just as passionate as ever about finding you the right job every time.

Company Profile

Universal Locums began in 1992 when the company started recruiting Allied Health Professionals worldwide into permanent jobs in the USA. The company was founded on a principle of business excellence, ethical and honest recruitment and quality of service to both the candidates and the clients.

The company grew rapidly to become one of the nationally recognised agencies in the area of Allied Health Professionals. Our team of energetic and professional recruiters work on a client and locum satisfaction basis.  For a locum this means the right job every time with ongoing contact and support. For clients this means you get the right locum for your vacancy every time. For Universal Locums this means we maintain a large team of loyal locums and clients and your loyalty gives us the motivation and drive to ‘work our socks off’ for you to keep you loyal to Universal Locums!

This basic principle as well as fair costing has ensured our place on every NHS National Framework Agreement and means that you can confidently use Universal Locums as your agency of choice! We are acknowledged as leading national suppliers to NHS, Social Services and private sector Clients and are often the first agency contacted when a locum vacancy comes up.

Thanks to our Compliance, Training and Occupational Health teams, all of our candidates are stringently vetted in terms of enhanced CRB checks, face to face ID checks, qualifications, HPC registration and professional references.

My colleagues and I look forward to welcoming you to our team of successful and satisfied locums. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to phone me personally and I will be delighted to answer any questions you might have.

Testimonial

“I've been working with Universal Locums on and off for a number of years now.  Their professional approach and dedication in supporting me, is the reason I continue to work for them.  Also OT department managers always comment how easy it is to work with Universal, they don't give the hard sell, I'm sure this is a contributing factor as to why I always find work with them.

There are many agents in the market, but there's only one choice for me. Universal Locums!”
