BUILT FOR FLEXIBLE CARE

How Locum Staffing Works

Locum shifts are flexible contract roles designed to fill gaps in care at healthcare facilities. Assignments range from single daily shifts to long-term monthly placements. Every profile is pre-verified against official regulators so facilities can hire instantly with zero friction.

VERIFIED BEFORE THEY APPEAR

Qualified clinicians you can trust

Every clinician on Africa Medics is checked against the register that governs their cadre before their profile goes live. Facilities never have to take a CV's word for it, and clinicians only have to prove their credentials once — not for every shift they apply to.

WHY IT IS DIFFERENT

Africa Medics vs. traditional locum hiring

  • Regulator-verified clinicians

    Licences checked against KMPDC, the Nursing Council or PPB before a profile goes live.

    Africa MedicsTraditional hiring

  • Roles filled in under a day

    Verification happens up front, so a confirmed clinician is not waiting on paperwork.

    Africa MedicsTraditional hiring

  • Same-day M-Pesa payouts

    Settlement is released once the shift is confirmed complete, not at month end.

    Africa MedicsTraditional hiring

  • Fixed rate agreed upfront

    Both sides see the shift rate before the role is accepted.

HOW IT WORKS

How it works

Four steps from sign-up to same-day pay — and the compliance only happens once.

  1. A nurse in uniform smiling in a hospital walkway

    STEP 01

    Create your profile once

    Register with your professional details, your cadre and the counties you can work in. It takes a few minutes, and it costs nothing.

  2. A clinician in surgical scrubs and cap on a hospital ward

    STEP 02

    Get verified against your register

    Submit your practising licence and we check it against the body that governs your cadre — KMPDC, the Nursing Council, the Clinical Officers Council, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board or KMLTTB. Most reviews finish within a working day.

  3. Two clinicians preparing an operating theatre

    STEP 03

    Match with a shift near you

    Browse locum and permanent roles by county or speciality and apply straight from the listing. Facilities review a profile that is already cleared to practise, so most roles are filled inside a day.

  4. A nurse attending to an older patient in a wheelchair

    STEP 04

    Work, then get paid the same day

    Take the shift at a rate agreed upfront. Once the facility confirms it is complete, your payout is released the same day, straight to your M-Pesa number.
