As a Podiatrist, I decided to pursue locum work to broaden my professional experiences, and it's been incredibly rewarding. Through this journey, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many new colleagues—connections I never would have made if I had stayed in a single role with the same daily caseload. The work itself has been challenging, allowing me to develop new skills and grow in my field.

What’s been most amazing is the flexibility. Being able to choose when and how much I work has been the perfect way to balance my career with my family life. I've found that I can work fewer hours while still earning great money, which has made a huge difference in my overall work-life balance. HeyLucy! has revolutionised the way that I find work, all the choices are mine to make, and I can see the work that is available at all times. All the power and choices are back in my hands, not in the hands of a recruiter pulling the strings.

I was working as a locum in a rural hospital. I loved the work and I was enjoying all the conditions. One day, in the tea room I heard what the recruitment company were charging the hospital. I was gobsmacked! The recruiter was paying me a rate and then charging the hospital the same rate per hour on top of my rate. So the recruiter was making the same wage per hour as I was, every hour, of every shift, for the entire placement. The lack of transparency and lack of control I had over my own wage and my own experience was extremely eye opening. I love that HeyLucy! is a transparent system, and I can see how much I earn and know that no clinic is being price gauged.
