Specsavers launches locum app

Specsavers has launched a locum booking app to manage busy work schedules across multiple stores.

Available for iOS and Android devices, the app means both optical and hear care locums can provide real-time updates on availability, check future bookings and be notified when a store opportunity becomes available.

Head of Specsavers recruitment services Rob Mould said: ‘We've made this substantial investment in new technology as we're seeing more and more optometrists turn to self-employed work as a way of life, and want to make it as easy as possible for them to work with Specsavers'.

The app is managed by Specsavers’ in-house recruitment team and locums currently registered with the recruitment service have automatically been sent access instructions.
