Your skills are vital. We’ll make sure the journey is seamless. 

Working rurally as a doctor comes with enormous rewards—but also real challenges. From credentialing to travel and finding the right clinical fit, it’s a lot to navigate. That’s where we come in. 

At Prescript, we offer something different: a concierge-level service with heart. That means one-on-one support tailored to your needs, not just to find your next role, but to make sure you feel supported, confident, and well-placed from start to finish. 

We’re not just here to book a shift—we’re here to help build your career, reduce admin stress, and make every step of your journey smoother. 

Our consultants truly care about your experience and building relationships that last. 

What Does Concierge Support Really Mean? 

Some agencies match CVs to vacancies. We build relationships. Our consultants truly care about your experience and giving you support and guidance each step of the way. Our extensive knowledge blended with a genuine passion for what we do ensures that each doctor feels valued. 

Our team handles every detail so you can focus on what matters: making an impact. 

When we say "concierge," we mean: 

  • Your own dedicated recruitment partner, who gets to know your goals, values, and clinical interests. 

  • A credentialing and logistics team who’ll handle flights, accommodation, and onboarding—often before you even have to ask

  • Ongoing support before, during, and after each placement—with real people checking in, not bots or automated emails. 

  • In-depth market knowledge, ensuring that you’re dealing with a specialist, not a generalist.  

Before Your Placement: Building the Right Fit 

Every doctor’s journey with Prescript begins with a conversation. We want to understand what lights you up—your preferred clinical areas, locations that inspire you, how you want to work, and what kind of lifestyle you're seeking.  

From there, we’ll: 

  • Share handpicked roles that align with your goals—many of which are never advertised. 

  • Handle the paperwork with minimal friction, guided by our Prescript Quality Standards (PQS)

  • Keep everything discreet if you’re still in a current role. 

  • Walk you through salary, structure, and logistics—with no surprises

  • Answer all of your questions, so you feel supported and secure in your decision. 

  • Ensure that your unique capabilities are showcased to our clients across the country. 

“Prescript go above and beyond to find locums that work around my life—not the other way around.” 

— Dr. Alexander Chen  

During Your Placement: Seamless, Supported, Sorted 

From day one, we’re with you. 

We’ll organise: 

  • Travel, car hire, and self-contained accommodation 

  • Your personalised Arrival Pack (including login details, who to ask for on Day 1, even where to grab a good coffee!) 

  • Tips on schools, gyms, or weekend hikes if you're bringing the family 

  • Support with on-the-ground questions or unexpected hiccups 

Whether it’s a last-minute shift or a six-month rural contract, we make sure everything runs smoothly - and that you’re never left guessing

“It’s the little details Prescript get right—like making sure my car hire is suitable for remote roads, or checking in after hours. That’s why I still choose them.” 

— Dr. Sanjay Verma  

After Your Placement: Ready for What’s Next 

Some doctors locum between full-time roles. Others use it to explore the country or extend their career on their own terms. Whatever your reason, we’re here for the long run. 

We’ll help you: 

  • Line up your next role in advance 

  • Take a break, then pick up where you left off 

  • Transition into permanent or telehealth work if that’s what’s next for you 

Or, we’re always here if you want to have a general chat or get our advice, whether that’s on a phone-call or over a coffee. 

This isn’t a one-off. It’s a partnership—built around your goals, your impact, and the life you want to live. We want to be on the journey with you. 

“Prescript understand me as a person. Not just what work I can do, but what work fits my life.” 

— Dr. Lina Yusoff
