Locum Medical Registrar jobs are like rain in the UK, consistent and plentiful.

We could go down the usual marketing route of promoting the chance of seeing Chris Hemsworth walking his dogs in Byron Bay as the key reason to locum here.
But the North Coast NSW region, likely even more in demand due to COVID, has plenty more than just Byron. Murwillumbah, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, Lismore, Grafton. And they all have hospitals that need Med Reg Locums all year round. So get ready, as you’ll need to pack your scrubs, white linen, fedora and beads, North Coast NSW here we come!
