Specsavers Locum Diary is a free iPhone app created by Specsavers Recruitment Services Ltd to help optical and audiology professionals locate and manage locum work. Categorised under Business & Productivity, the app connects self-employed practitioners with short-term shifts at Specsavers stores across the UK and provides tools to organise bookings from a mobile device.
Who uses it
- Lab technicians
- Audiologists
- Contact lens opticians
- Dispensing opticians
- Self-employed optometrists
Core capabilities
The app makes it straightforward to discover locum shifts in locations that suit you and to keep your schedule up to date while you’re on the move. Key capabilities include:
- Booking locum days directly through the app
- Updating your availability and managing your diary in real time
- Receiving push alerts for opportunities that match your preferences
- Filtering and searching for roles by location and date
Why it’s useful
For professionals working freelance or filling temporary vacancies, the app streamlines finding work and reduces the back-and-forth of arranging cover. Its notification system helps you respond quickly to suitable opportunities, and the calendar features simplify diary management.
Alternative option
If you’re exploring other tools, FamApp: Spend with UPI & Card Free is a recommended alternative for managing payments and spending, although it serves a different primary purpose than a locum diary.
