Apply for Work
Important things to note:
- Applying for a shift does not mean booked,
- You can apply to multiple shifts at the same time. If you're accepted to one, the system notifies the other facilities that they've missed out,
- You can't apply if not compliance, so hit start application so and it will walk you through the missing requirements
After you're booked, we'll email you an employment contract and digital ID card, so keep an eye out for that.
- Go to Find Work, click on the shift you want to apply
- Check out the Complete to Apply checklist on a shift card, then click Start Application to fulfill the compliances.
You can quick apply to shifts with matching compliances once your profile is complete.
- You will receive an email and an app notification confirming your booked shift
- The shift will move to the Booked Work tab on the Find Work page
We strongly recommend that you read through the facility profile information (if you haven't already) to familiarise yourself with where to go, and any additional onboarding processes the facility may have in place.
If you're not showing as a match for work that you believe you should be, make sure your work experience is accurately entered in your profile. Reach out to us if this is something we can help with.
Also make sure you have your notifications set so you're being notified of the correct opportunities and not missing out.
Popular FAQs
We understand how frustrating it can be waiting to hear back about an application, rest assured your application has gone through. Each time you apply for a shift the facility will receive a notification of your application, it can take some time for booking managers to get around to reviewing these applications. We've found it can take between 12-36 hours depending on when the shift you've applied for is.
If a facility has accepted your application you will receive an email and app notification to confirm this booking. Any booked shifts will also move to the Booked Work tab in My Work.
Don't feel discouraged. Sometimes, shift booking managers may have to decline your application to a shift because:
- They chose another practitioner who applied for the same shift and who they believe is better suited for the needs of the shift
- Their shift needs have changed, so they have cancelled the shift
- They require a more specialised practitioner with particular skills and/or experience for that particular shift. Although uPaged practitioners are not limited to working within their usual specialty and may apply outside their specialty, sometimes booking managers require specialised practitioners for the shift
Our aim is to raise the standard of the contingent healthcare workforce and to achieve transparency around practitioner to patient allocations for both practitioners and managers. We highly encourage you to apply for other shifts available on the platform.
Yes! uPaged practitioners are not limited to working within their usual speciality, we do encourage you to only apply for shifts within your scope of practice
