For a variety of reasons, councils may occasionally require the services of a professional locum. SALC can support this by connecting councils with experienced professionals who are available to provide short-term support. Our locum register is designed to make this process straightforward, signposting councils to suitable individuals, while also offering guidance on appointing a locum in line with the roles and responsibilities of an employer when establishing a temporary contract.
There are three categories of locum available: Clerk, Minutes Taker and Admin/Finance Support

What happens next? Once SALC receives your form and CV, we will create an anonymised profile on the register, promote the page, and provide councils with a copy of your CV upon request. From that point, it is the council’s responsibility to liaise directly with you as part of their selection process when setting up a temporary contract.
