About Us
Red Professional Locums are purely dedicated to Locum Doctors it's where all our experience lies and the market that we believe we know best. Our founding Directors Mark Merry and Michele Chalkley have over 25 years experience solely in the field of Locum Doctors and their recruitment ethos is at the centre of RED.
We want our Locums and our agency to stand out, to be different, and to be unique; we want you to help us make that happen, to become part of a new agency but not so new concept in the locum world, honest, reliable, straightforward simple recruitment.
In a highly competitive market where we are sure you have a very wide selection of locum agencies to choose from and it goes without saying that we can offer the following
- Reliable offers of work
- Excellent Hourly Rates
- National Work
- Accommodation
- Daily Payroll
- Incentives and Lucrative referral bonuses
But we are sure that that is not the only reason you choose an agency. Of course Locums should be remunerated accordingly and incentivised for their expertise but we believe and strive to find a balance that's both rewarding and realistic to our candidates and clients which revolves around basic ethical awareness with excellent patient care being at the heart of all we do.
"I've worked with Mark over several years. From a doctor's point of view throughout that time he has always been honest and up front about work opportunities, and remuneration and has always striven to get the best deals available. He won't spin you a line about how much work is available in certain specialties or parts of the country to get you to sign on with him (unlike some other agencies). Something that is extremely important when trying to make decisions about moving locum agencies or permanent employment. He works hard to get the best for you and has your best interests at heart. Having said that he also won't employ people who don't have a good work ethic or who are not good doctors. He is interested in supplying quality locum doctors to hospitals and not in filling posts with anyone just to make a buck. Also the hospitals can rest assured that if they contract doctors to fill positions through Mark they will get good quality people who can do the job well. Mark is about supplying good doctors to positions that they will enjoy working in, to give them a lifestyle they enjoy, whilst also trying to ensure that the standard is as high as possible, as he realizes at the end of the day it is not just a locum agency but about patient care. Because of this he is one of the most honest and ethical people I've met in this area of business and it has been a pleasure working with him. I have no hesitation in recommending him as someone to do business with and look forward to working with him for many years."
