If you’re a GP who thrives under pressure, enjoys a change of pace, and wants to take control of your own schedule, out-of-hours work might just be your perfect match.
These aren’t your typical 9-to-5 shifts. Out-of-hours (OOH) roles are about being there when regular clinics close—when patients still need care, advice, and reassurance. And right now, they’re some of the most in-demand locum opportunities across Ireland.
Out-of-hours GPs cover evenings, weekends, and holidays; times when standard practices shut their doors. It’s the safety net for patients who can’t wait until Monday morning.
The work ranges from phone consultations and clinic-based assessments to the occasional home visit. You’ll see everything from chest infections and high fevers to minor injuries and medication queries. You need to think fast, adapt quickly, and make solid clinical calls with limited resources.
Flexibility. Autonomy. Variety. That’s what draws doctors to these shifts.
It’s a great fit for doctors with strong clinical instincts who are comfortable working independently and managing uncertainty.
At Clarity Locums, we see it every week, out-of-hours shifts go live and get booked within minutes. Sometimes seconds.
Why? Because the demand is high, and the shifts are ideal for GPs who want flexibility without the long-term commitment. But here’s the catch, you have to be registered and fully compliant before you can even see or book them.
No paperwork = no access. Simple as that.
