How self-scheduling works
Most inpatient units self-schedule in 4-week blocks. You choose your shifts first, and weekend and holiday rotations are shared across the team.
Full-time, part-time and per diem
Each posting lists its schedule and hours. Part-time staff get the same day-one medical, dental and vision coverage as full-time staff.
Family support
Childcare discounts and caregiver leave sit alongside flexible scheduling, so a change at home does not have to mean a new job.
