Work the Way You Want
Whether you are seeking a Per Diem, Contract, or Direct Hire Position, one of
our Express Healthcare Staffing Employment Specialists will work with you to
find the healthcare position you desire.
Per Diem
Per Diem, or “per day,” includes employment/payment based on a day-to-day
basis rather than a full-time position. Per Diem clinicians often fill in for absent
healthcare workers and are on an on-call basis. Shifts are often irregular, and
as a clinician, you can accept or deny an assignment based on your schedule.
This is the perfect opportunity for clinicians who want to or need to choose
where, when, and how often they want to work.

The Express Healthcare team can place clinical staff in local contract
opportunities that range from four- to 26-weeks. Our contract positions may

- Guaranteed assignments that can extend up to one year
