Revolutionising Dental Locum Hiring Faster, Fairer, and Hassle-Free.
Trusted by leading UK dental groups
Our Story
Airlocum was founded by Dr. Eugene Bojé, a practising dentist and dental practice owner who experienced the UK’s dental staffing crisis firsthand.
“As a practice owner, I was constantly worried about nurse cancellations and having to find replacements at a moment’s notice. I had no control over who would turn up, no way to check their track record, and no confidence they’d be a good fit. The agency model was slow, expensive, and opaque — so I built something better.”
Launched in 2019, Airlocum is now the UK’s largest digital marketplace for temporary dental professionals. We connect dental practices with fully vetted locum nurses, dentists, hygienists, therapists, and receptionists — with shifts typically filled in under 15 minutes.
Our mission is simple: give every dental practice in the UK instant access to reliable temporary staff, without the agency markup or the guesswork.
Our Mission
Efficiency Without Compromise
Shifts filled in under 15 minutes. No phone calls, no waiting, no chasing. Our algorithm sends your request to every available, qualified locum near you simultaneously.
Transparency & Fairness
See every locum’s photo, biography, ratings, reviews, GDC verification, and hourly rate before you book. No blind agency assignments.
Flexibility on Your Terms
Book a locum for tomorrow morning or schedule weeks ahead. Cancel for free with 18+ hours’ notice. You’re only charged after the shift is complete and you’ve approved the timesheet.
Empowering People, Enhancing Care
Locums set their own rates and build their professional reputation through verified reviews. Practices get better staff because better performance is visibly rewarded.
Benefits of our Services

Locums keep 100% of the rate they set. Practices pay a service fee on top: £3 per hour for nurses and receptionists, or 10% of the hourly rate for clinical roles. The average service fee is approximately £29 per booked shift, charged only after the shift is completed and the timesheet approved.
