Living in East Kent, there are not very many Locum dispensing shifts available. However, when they do come up it’s an easy booking service.

App works well
Seems to work very well, no issues with booking although it would help if you could remove individual groups from a search. Perhaps you can and I’ve just missed it🤔

When the shifts are available it is easy, however unfortunately there is alot of unsuccessful applications to stores that you have never worked in. I feel like directors should give people a chance. I understand that thry tend to use the same people. I am one of those people so its a double edged sword.

Convenient and organised
Booking shifts is easy to do, convenient and gives me a calendar so I can visualise my shifts for the month. Also, it gives me all the general information I need to know about the shift before I book it; hence, a good overview.
