Local healthcare work can include contract, per-diem, temporary, part-time, and full-time positions near your community.
Review common questions about eligibility, applications, schedules, compensation, credentialing, and what happens after you accept a local position.
A local healthcare contract is a temporary or defined-term position with a healthcare facility near your current home.
Local positions may include contract, per-diem, temporary, part-time, full-time, day-shift, night-shift, or weekend work based on facility demand.
A local contract normally allows you to work near your current residence without relocating for the assignment.
Travel assignments usually require a professional to work farther from home and may include travel or housing terms. Local positions generally do not include the same housing or travel arrangements.
The exact classification and terms should be confirmed before accepting a position.
Available positions may include roles for:

Confirm benefit availability, start dates, employee costs, and eligibility in writing before accepting a position.

Ask the recruiter to confirm:
Do not assume that every local position guarantees the same schedule.
You can tell the recruitment team your preferred cities, ZIP codes, commute distance, facility types, and schedule.
Job availability still depends on active facility needs, your qualifications, licensing, and the position’s requirements.
A healthcare facility may offer an extension when staffing is still needed and both parties wish to continue.
Review the new dates, schedule, pay, hours, and employment terms before accepting an extension.
You may discuss travel opportunities with your recruiter when you meet the licensing, experience, credentialing, and availability requirements for an active travel position.
Moving from local work to travel work is not automatic and depends on available jobs.
