“Hello, I’m Rebecca Doyle – Senior Recruitment Partner for Radiology at Prescript. ”

At Prescript, we’re known for helping solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia. We use tailored strategies to help regional communities attract the best applicants for their position, and to assist doctors in finding jobs with ease.

One of these strategies is ’Prescript’s Premium Recruitment Solution’, which are blended retained/contingent projects. We carefully choose which positions we work on and our recruitment projects are normally for a 3-month period. We are committed to filling each vacancy.

It’s great being able to showcase our clients’ vacancies in a visually appealing and clear manner, tailored to suit their specific recruitment challenges.

I thought I’d share with you two recent examples of our Premium Recruitment Solution for some of our Radiology clients.

Example One | Noosa QLD

I visited this location to gain a good understanding of the permanent job position. This opportunity truly is exceptional in what it offers - a fulfilling career, a highly skilled and friendly team and a lifestyle that most can only dream about.

It was wonderful working with Grace Clueit (Prescript’s Marketing Partner) on this role and really bringing it to life, it made me want to move to Noosa myself!

Check out the video we created for this role below:

Example Two | Regional Victoria

We know how important it is to understand our clients’ vacancies, which is why we always visit the location. I really try and put myself in the doctor’s shoes to help them visualise what life would be like living there.

This attractive permanent role was with an organisation who not only provide a high-quality, comprehensive radiology service, but they support and encourage continued professional development and career progression for their Radiologists. The location offered a great opportunity to enjoy a well-balanced lifestyle and a strong sense of community in a thriving regional city, while only being a two-hour drive from Melbourne’s CBD.

Why Choose Prescript's Premium Recruitment Solution?

Prescript’s Premium Recruitment Solution is blended with both retained and contingent components. We carefully choose which positions we work on and our recruitment projects are normally for a 3-month period. We are committed to filling each vacancy.

Our strategy is a mixture of Baseline Recruitment and Campaign Driven Recruitment.

➕ Baseline Recruitment - targeting active job-seekers. These are doctors who have already thought about new opportunities and actively looking at job boards or responding warmly to direct contact.

➕ Campaign Driven Recruitment - targeting dormant doctors. These are doctors who might be happy in their current role and have not thought about relocating.

We launch the campaign in stages over the three month period. The campaign would be structured to lead up to events. The major selling point of the positions is the chance to work with your hospital/practice. We produce a highly engaging video showcasing all the plus points. This is a tailored, exclusive campaign to attract the right doctor for your role.

Eating Well When Away On A Locum

Alternatives To Always Eating Out

When we’re away from home for a period of time for work or holiday; having every meal at a restaurant, nice as it can be, sometimes wears a bit thin. Especially when you want to eat well, stay healthy and still enjoy making a few things yourself, rather than eating out all the time. If there are limited kitchen facilities and equipment, this can be a little challenging.

Here are some ideas for easy meals to have whilst ‘on the road’. They’re aimed at keeping healthy; providing the opportunity to taste local produce and specialties; enjoy good meals outside or on the run – at work for example; and even entertain where there is the opportunity.

Culinary Tool Kit

Depending on where you are and what your accommodation and resources are like, a culinary ‘tool kit’ to travel with can be a lifesaver.

A few of these essentials – and any others that are to your own personal taste, can help you make the most of local food that you can make at your home away from home:

Salt and pepper – there are some good quality disposable grinders full of the likes of Himalayan salt and organic black pepper available.
A small bottle of extra virgin olive oil – perfect for dressing a salad or for dipping with local bakers’ bread.
A small, sharp cutting knife and/or a small serrated knife
Small wooden chopping board – can be used for presenting cheeses and other snacks you’ve bought too.
A reasonable sized plastic container that can be used for mixing up a salad – and for transporting food you’ve made to work with you if you’re away from home, or for taking out for picnics if you’re on holiday.

Staying Local

A visit to a local farmers’ market is always the best place to experience the best of local produce and artisan foods and drinks. There are normally good websites to let you know times and days of the markets in every region. Of course if you like a glass of wine and you’re in an area with vineyards, a visit to the cellar door is always a good experience.

Even the most basic supermarkets offer choices of simple, whole foods – avoid heavily processed or high sugar items ideally - rather, go for any fresh produce available. Fresh, raw vegetables and avocado cut up with some good quality hummus, pesto or other dips from the refrigerated section make a pretty good snack.

Quick, Easy, Healthy and Delicious

For an impromptu meal – an option could be some freshly baked bread, good quality local cheese, olives, fresh tomatoes and salad greens and perhaps some fruit. With these humble ingredients, a very satisfying picnic or simple meal at your accommodation can be produced – no cooking required.

Here’s a simple board of a couple of cheeses, sliced pear and some good, local bread. Some olives or other simple antipasti items would be perfect to add to this. This could be a simple meal for one, or very acceptable offering to friends if they join you for a drink and catch up.

Buon appetito!

6 Tips For Starting Out As A Locum

News, Career Advice, Doctors, Case Study

Ever Thought Of Locum Work?

Prescript is perfectly placed to help you find the best jobs available across Australia. Here are a few handy hints to help you get your ideal locum position as quickly as possible:

1. Update Your CV

Make sure you send us an up to date copy of your CV including details of your most recent place of work and any relevant experience to the type of locum work that you are looking for.

Don’t have time or don’t know where to start? Prescript are experts at creating professional and relevant CVs and would be happy to help you with this.

2. Prime Your Referees

Before we can put you forward for a locum position, we will need to obtain at least two, preferably three, references from consultants that you’ve worked with over the past year. If you’ve worked in more than one speciality over the past year, your most recent supervisor and/or supervisors from the speciality that you want to work as a locum in will be the best to use. Please don’t forget to let your referees know that they’ll be contacted by us for references. In our experience, the best references always come from people who knew that they were going to be used as a referee and knew that we were going to call!

3. Organising Your Paperwork

Paperwork and credentialing requirements vary from hospital to hospital (even within the same health district), and generally, you will have to re-submit paperwork to each new hospital that you work at as a locum (yes, even within the same health district!). Some of this paperwork will need to be tackled on a case by case basis but to make your life easier, get hold of the following now as a minimum:

✔️ Qualifications - Primary Degree and Fellowship

✔️ Copy of driving licence and passport

✔️ AHPRA registration

✔️ Evidence of vaccination against; HIV; Hepatitis B; Hepatitis C; Measles, Mumps & Rubella; Varicella; dTpa; as well as evidence of any TB screening, if applicable *

✔️ Your indemnity insurance certificate *

✔️ A national police check dated within the past three years *

✔️ Any Working With Children Checks (WWCC) that you currently hold (additional checks may be required if you take up a locum assignment in a new state/territory) *

*These are dependent on where you work - talk to Prescript for more information.

Prescript has its own quality standards, called PQS - find out more here.

4. Be Ready For More Paperwork Coming Your Way

With every new locum placement, comes a new credentialing requirement. Having access to a printer and scanner is invaluable. Prescript is also a big fan of electronic signatures and using your mobile phone as a scanner, and we will gladly share our tips and tricks with you to make life easier.

5. Get An Australian Business Number (ABN)

Depending on the hospital that you work at as a locum, you may have the option to invoice as a contractor rather than be paid via the hospital payroll. To do this, you will need your own ABN, which is free of charge and can be done online via the Australian Business Register.

6. Check Your Diary

Look at your schedule and decide when you are going to be available for locum work, taking into account adequate rest days between shifts as well as travel time to/from your locum assignment if it’s interstate. Like the sound of a particular job but not sure of the logistics of how to get there? Prescript can talk you through the best itineraries (as well as suggest things to see and do when you’re not at work!)
