🔍 Why Choose a Permanent Role Over a Locum Position as a Healthcare Clinician? 🔍 While locum work offers flexibility, choosing a permanent role as a healthcare clinician can provide long-term benefits that are worth considering: 1.     Job Stability: Permanent roles provide a consistent and predictable income, offering peace of mind with regular working hours and long-term job security. 2.     Career Growth: Permanent positions often come with opportunities for professional development, training, and promotions. You can build deeper relationships with your team, patients, and the organization.   3.     Work-Life Balance: With fixed schedules, permanent roles can offer better work-life balance. You have more control over your time, allowing you to plan personal and professional goals effectively.   4.     Employee Benefits: Permanent employees typically enjoy a range of benefits, including pensions, paid leave, healthcare, and access to additional perks like professional memberships or continuous education.   5.     Team Integration: Working as part of a consistent team allows you to make a bigger impact on patient care. You'll have more continuity with patients and can contribute to long-term care plans and projects.   6.     Reduced Administrative Burden: With a permanent role, you’ll face fewer administrative tasks compared to locum work, where managing taxes, availability, and contracts can take extra time and effort. While locum work offers flexibility, a permanent role gives you the opportunity to grow your career, enjoy stability, and make a lasting difference. Choose the path that aligns with your goals! 🚀 #HealthcareCareers #PermanentRole #HealthcareRecruitment #PrimaryCare #CareerGrowth #JobStability #Clinician

“Hospitals and physician practices are losing top talent with years of experience because of lack of flexibility at work” 🎯 As I continue to share my experiences and my career journey on LinkedIn I am finding many like me who are looking for flexibility in their day in the medical field. From my understanding, it’s not easy to find roles like that. You’re either all in for a 40 hour week or nothing. There are many reasons people look for flexibility but some of the things I have heard recently are: - health reasons - family commitments - empty nesters (like me !) - flexibility of being able to travel - one individual I spoke to last week is actually wanting to work part time so that they can work on their side hustle! 🎯 More often than not employees with many years of clinical and medical experience, simply find that they just have to leave their roles as they are often required to keep working full time. To me, it’s a real shame to lose clinical staff who are dedicated and committed. Physician practices / Hospitals need to be more open to the idea of allowing people to work part time or with a more flexible schedule if they wish so that they can prioritize home life and work life. High staff turnover Burnout Toxicity Low morale are all things that I personally have seen in medical practices. To all my physician friends out there ….It’s a problem that needs to be addressed. #advocateforflexibility #parttimeinmedicine #flexibilityinmedicine
