Shift Availability via SMS

Exciting Changes are coming to Calvary Hobart.

We are in the final stages of rolling out 'Message Media' a global messaging App that will help us streamline the way we communicate shift vacancies across various departments, both Hospital and Clinical.

Message Media allows us to contact you in real-time via an SMS gateway. This is expected to commence this week. 

All staff mobiles will automatically be subscribed to Message Media. When a shift is available an SMS message will be sent to your mobile phone.
You do not need to reply to anyone unless you are available to work. 

Department Groups have been set-up for each area. If you wish to be added or removed from a Department Group please notify your manager.

If you are available, the SMS will give you a specific mobile number to reply to (direct replies to the SMS are not monitored).

Benefits

This is an exciting initiative which will revolutionise the way we fill shift vacancies. Some of the many benefits include:

• NUMs/Area Leaders will no longer be required to message individual staff giving them valuable time back to focus on other priorities
   
• Staff will no longer receive multiple messages from multiple departments regarding shift vacancies
   
• We can advertise shift vacancies to large groups of people in a matter of seconds
   
• NUMs/Area Leaders have access to a much larger workforce pool
   
• Improved earning capacity for Permanent Part Time employees able to pick up additional shifts

Unsubscribe options

If you wish not to participate and as such wish to unsubscribe from the service, please use the unsubscribe link on the sent out SMS.

Alternatively you advise your Manager who can remove you either fully from the service, or just from particular 'Department Groups'  that you are not interested in work from.

In 1885, six courageous Sisters sailed into Sydney to continue the mission of Venerable Mary Potter and the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary to care for those in need. Thus began Calvary’s enduring legacy of care in Australia. Today, we continue their mission, in our hospitals, home and virtual care services, retirement living and residential aged care homes across five states and two territories.
