The platform to find casual work in nursing that showcases your skills and puts you in control of your casual nursing shifts.
These days we want it all – work-life balance, flexibility, sufficient income and job fulfilment. Nurses are hard workers, we do fast-paced work over long hours as part of complex models of care. We care deeply about our patients, and we want to be valued for the work that we do. We also want our careers to provide us a sustainable way of life. The gig economy is growing, where people can find on demand work in a simpler way. Almost half (46%) of the working-aged population will be a part of the gig economy by 2027. People are shifting to on-demand work arrangements that suits them, allowing companies to dip into a pool of talent to meet dynamic on demand market conditions. uPaged has created a platform to enable on-demand work opportunities for the nursing sector.
Why change is needed
While agency nurses earn a good casual rate of pay, the nursing agencies are the ones who truly benefit. Hospitals spend millions of dollars each year on agency fees, and this financial burden limits the ability of the hospitals to engage more agency nurses. This places strain on the entire nursing team, puts their patients at higher risk and results in less shifts for nurses who rely on casual work.
uPaged offers a unique, cost effective solution. We charge lower fees to the hospitals, allowing you to be booked more and cancelled less.
How uPaged works:
- Build your professional profile.
- Be matched with shifts suit to your skill set and availability.
- Receive a professional rating and testimonial for each shift.
- Rate the hospital to assist other nurses in their shift selection.
- Keep track of your hours and income on our easy to use website and mobile app.
