“This is the future of NHS locum work”
"Messly act as a hub for all agencies to contact you through. very well laid out and always quick to answer any questions."
“Gamechanger for locum work”
"Game changer in securing locum work. Vetted agencies with suitable job roles sent to you after one simple profile setup. No longer taking leaps of faiths signing up to agencies without any knowledge of preferred trusts or even job roles these agencies offer!"
"Messly has been a lifesaver for my F3 Year."
"The platform is so accessible and easy to use, and I had recruiters reaching out almost immediately after going live. They have a really convenient messaging platform with recruiters and its super easy to arrange calls. Uploading documents was also a seamless process and I'm very grateful for all the shifts coming in."
"Locum jobs on Messly"
"I was initially sceptical but I was contacted by 3 Locum agencies within a few days and I have already been booked in for my first job. I have found the system very efficient and the locum agency staff are quite professional in their approach. I recommend Messly for any Locum doctor for easier access to many agencies all in one platform."

No, but we partner with NHS hospitals and recruitment agencies who have opportunities across the NHS so you access to a much wider range of opportunities than working with any single one.
Initially the roles offered will be locums within NHS hospitals, offered through our agency partners. We occasionally offer roles in Australia and New Zealand, and are looking to expand into non-clinical roles in the future.
You create an online profile, and agencies with roles available that match your clinical skills and availability will contact you. They will explain who they are and what shifts they have. You can reply if you're interested or reject them if not. You don't share your personal details until you're sure that you want to go ahead.
We'll also show you a recommended list of jobs that match your requirements. You can choose the ones you're interested in without having to wait for recruiters to message you.
No the service is completely free of charge for all doctors. We take a small fee from an agency for successfully placing you to help us maintain the service.
Messly works with every major agency in the UK so we have jobs for all types of doctors:
‍
âś… Â SHOs, F3s, Registrars, Consultants and GPs
âś… Â All major specialties
âś… Â Ad-hoc shifts or long-term locums
âś… Â All parts of the UK
Yes you can! You'll need to have full GMC registration, Right To Work (RTW) in the UK and a minimum of 2 years of clinical experience and no significant clinical gaps in your clinical work. We'll ask to see a copy of your CV to verify your credentials.
Messly and agencies can't sponsor you for locum work, so if you don't have RTW in the UK, we recommend applying for Trust roles on NHSÂ Jobs to obtain a Skilled Worker Visa. We also recommend getting a clinical attachment in the NHSÂ to give yourself the best chance of getting locum work.
Yes we do have roles available in Australia & New Zealand at GP, F3+ and Registrar level. You can view a live list of our current vacancies here
