When can I start working after I am hired?
You can start working as soon as you meet the registration requirements and complete a drug screen and/or criminal background check if the facility requires them.
What are the chances I will get cancelled from an assignment and how often?
On some occasion, clients may cancel previously confirmed shifts. However, ULTRACARE, will attempt to offer alternate assignments to suit your availability, as much as possible. Cancellations are usually done by the facilities 2 hours before the start of the shift.
Is there a required amount for shifts worked?
ULTRACARE does not require anyone to work a certain amount of shifts. You may work as much as a full time shift or work part time hours. However, once availability has been pre-determined, we ask that you stay committed to the time and shift given to you.
