How Much Will I Be Paid ?

A large number of hospitals have now entered agreements with us to supply staff not just at a fixed charge rate but at a fixed pay rate as well. These rates vary from hospital to hospital.

In general, pay rates vary from £26.50 to £35.00 - but generally you should expect to earn about £30 per hour.

What can I expect of the Agency ?

SONOGRAPHERS Medical operates to a stringent recruitment policy. We do not, however, believe that our task is completed when we find you a placement and we instead have an integrated Locum Appraisal System to assist each Operating Department Practitioner with their Professional Development Plan.     more.....
