Compliance-aware recruitment support for primary care clients.
First Call Locums helps clients approach locum recruitment with structure, evidence and clear records. We support the process around candidate suitability, right to work, identity, professional registration, DBS where applicable, references and booking documentation.
Important compliance note
- ✓Clients remain responsible for final hiring and engagement decisions.
- ✓We support evidence gathering and transparent candidate information.
- ✓Checks should be proportionate to the role and setting.
- ✓Our process is designed to help clients make informed decisions.
A stronger locum process starts before the candidate arrives.
In primary care, recruitment is closely connected to patient safety, governance and service quality. A fast placement still needs a clear process behind it.
First Call Locums supports clients by helping organise the information commonly required before a locum starts work. This can include identity, right to work, professional registration, qualifications, DBS suitability where relevant, insurance, references, training evidence, immunisation information where applicable, and role-specific experience.
Our compliance support can include
- Candidate identity and right-to-work information.
- Professional registration and qualification checks where relevant.
- DBS information appropriate to the role and eligibility.
- References and employment history information where available.
- Training certificates and role-relevant evidence.
- Insurance, availability and booking confirmation details.
Designed to support safer, clearer staffing decisions.
| Right to work | We help ensure candidate right-to-work evidence is requested and organised so clients can review suitability before engagement. |
| Professional registration | For regulated clinical roles, we support the verification process around relevant registration, qualifications and role requirements. |
| DBS and safeguarding | We help clients consider DBS information where appropriate to the responsibilities of the role and patient contact. |
| References and history | We support a documented approach to work history, references and experience so clients are not relying on vague introductions. |
| Booking records | We aim to keep key placement details clear: role, site, dates, hours, duties, rates, documents and communication. |
We support compliance. We do not replace the client’s own governance.
Every provider should apply its own internal policies, legal obligations and governance requirements before allowing a locum to work. Our role is to support that process by gathering, organising and communicating candidate information in a professional way.
