Devon

Posted on 16 September 2025 by Hollie Nend

Devon is one of the most scenic and in-demand areas for locum dental work, with opportunities spread across both coastal and rural communities. From busy city practices in Exeter and Plymouth to friendly local surgeries in market towns and villages, Rota Relief nurses enjoy consistent and rewarding placements across the county.

Geographic spread: Devon is a large county with both rural villages and busy hubs like Exeter and Plymouth. Practices in more rural areas may struggle to find cover, creating opportunities for you as locums - willing to travel.

Tourism impact: Coastal towns often see seasonal demand, with practices often busier during holiday periods. Locums may be needed more frequently at these times.

Transport challenges: With longer travel times and limited public transport in rural areas, having your own car is a big advantage in Devon.

Practice variety: From NHS community clinics to modern private practices, Devon offers a wide range of working environments. Allowing you to build diverse experience across settings.
