As a registered contractor with New Directions and as we are preferred supplier to many key client groups you will be offered the finest contracts available throughout the UK. This means an exclusive service to candidates registered with us as not all agencies will be in the position to offer you the same extent of bookings! We offer top rates of pay, along with travelling time and accommodation where appropriate.

New Directions Pharmacy offers an initiative service to all registered locum contractors; our highly advanced website permits all candidates to search and apply online for dates and locations they feel are acceptable to them. Please refer to our bookings search. This information is updated online on a weekly basis as a means of informing all contractors of the very latest vacancies.

In addition to these services: we also have the facility to inform all registered candidates of contracts available via our SMS text messaging service. This has proved a highly effective method of booking and ensures that our candidates are informed of every booking we receive at the earliest opportunity; giving you first refusal.

We will always confirm each booking in writing within 3 hrs of booking; the confirmation you receive will state:

• Full address and opening hours of the store
• Rate of pay we have negotiated on your behalf
• Mileage allowance (and travelling time where applicable)
• Details of the stores i.e. how many items dispensed each day, support staff, computer systems used & general requirements of the client.
• Accommodation allowance & details of hotel booked (where applicable)

The client will also receive a mirror copy of the confirmation so all aspects of the booking are covered.
