Key things to know about job and shift notifications:

  • There are two main ways to get notified about new jobs or shifts:

    • Follow a practice to receive an email when a new job or shift is posted

    • Enable job alerts or shift alerts to receive weekly summaries of new jobs and shifts matching your preferences

  • The type of notification you receive (jobs or shifts) depends on the desired work type you selected in your profile:

    • Permanent work = you will receive notifications about new jobs

    • Relief work = you will receive notifications about new shifts

    • If you have both selected, you will receive notifications about both new jobs and new shifts
