We Asked Dorothy Why It’s Important to Update Availability Each Week

Keeping your availability up to date is one of the easiest ways to make sure you’re getting the most out of the HCRG Staffing Connect App, especially if you’re using Auto-book.

Take Dorothy, for example, a healthcare professional who always makes sure her availability is updated each week. By keeping her schedule current, Dorothy ensures she’s ready to be matched with the right shifts, at the right times.

Updating her availability means she can:

  • Make sure the app always knows exactly when she’s free to work.
  • Get automatically booked into shifts that match her preferences, wards, and locations.
  • Avoid missing out on popular shifts that fill up fast.
  • Maintain a better work-life balance by only being booked when she wants to work.

When your availability is up to date, Auto-book can do the hard work for you – automatically matching you to shifts that suit your preferences and helping you secure them as soon as they become available.

It only takes a minute each week, but it can make a huge difference to how many shifts you secure, and how smoothly your week runs.

So, if you haven’t already, open the HCRG Staffing Connect App, navigate to ‘My Schedule’, start adding your preferred availability, and select the ‘Auto-book’ option. Then sit back, relax, and let your next shift come to you.
