“The level of service that I’ve received from RIG locums has been way above average. The personnel are very friendly and were extremely supportive, especially in my early days in the NHS when I had no UK experience and it was extremely difficult to find a suitable job. RIG Locums believed in me and were able to find jobs at the right grade in the right speciality. The quality of the roles I’ve been offered has been excellent, I’ve been placed in two consecutive jobs as an SPR and my last contract was extended for five months. RIG locums is by far my favourite locum agency and I would certainly recommend them. I look forward to working with them once again in the future.”
