Why is my first tax bill as a locum so high (payments on account)?

Your first bill often includes the tax for the previous year plus the first payment on account for the following year. Payments on account are due on 31 January and 31 July. Each payment is normally half of the previous year's total tax liability. This can effectively result in paying 150% of your tax in one go.
