It might seem early to be thinking about the festive season, but for aged care facilities, planning for this peak period is already a top priority. While this can be a time of celebration for many, it can bring a significant logistical challenge for aged care facilities. As permanent staff take well-deserved leave, the demand for qualified and compassionate temporary staff increases. Waiting to secure adequate staffing at the last minute can lead to compromised care, increased costs, and elevated stress levels for your entire team.
At Randstad Aged Care, we advocate for a proactive approach to workforce management. By pre-booking your casual and temporary staff now, you can mitigate these risks and ensure a smooth, well-organised peak period. Our commitment is to provide you with the resources and transparency required to manage your staffing needs efficiently and with confidence.
a strategic partnership for peak period staffing
As a dedicated partner for talent, we offer a staffing solution that is not only robust and reliable but also transparent and cost-effective.
-
access to a qualified, specialised aged care talent pool:
We have a meticulously vetted talent pool of aged care professionals, including: RNs, ENs, clinical nurses & coordinators, facility managers/directors, nurses in charge/NUMs, PCAs and food service/hospitality staff.
-
compliance assured:
We handle the rigorous credentialing and compliance checks for all our talent, ensuring every aged care professional we place meets and exceeds Australian standards.
-
flexible, risk-free cancellation policy:
We understand that circumstances can change, particularly around holiday periods. Our policy allows you to cancel a pre-booked shift up to one hour before the start time without incurring a fee or penalty. This flexibility empowers you to manage your roster effectively, reducing the administrative burden of last-minute cancellations and the need for frantic morning "ring-arounds."
-
transparent pricing, zero surprises:
Our commitment to fair and transparent pricing is at the heart of our aged care charge rates. We've introduced a consistent fixed dollar margin for all ordinary hours, ensuring you're never paying a higher margin based on the seniority of the staff member allocated to your facility. This means you gain the flexibility to receive the best matched talent without incurring inflated costs. To support your financial planning, we also provide real-time visibility into your agency spend. This feature allows you to monitor and control costs as they occur, providing a clear and comprehensive view of your budget.
-
no additional fees for unforeseen circumstances:
We are committed to a partnership built on trust and predictability. In the event of unforeseen situations, such as a COVID-19 outbreak, Randstad Aged Care does not apply any additional surcharges, providing stability and support when you need it most.
-
technology to empower your staffing decisions:
Our intuitive client app and technology solutions are designed to dramatically reduce your administrative overhead and provide real-time control.
-
commitment to quality:
Our service is underpinned by a steadfast commitment to quality. As a testament to this, Randstad holds the ISO 9001 accreditation for Quality Management Systems (QMS), an internationally recognised standard that demonstrates our dedication to providing a high-quality, reliable, and consistent service.
the benefits of seasonal hiring
Engaging in proactive seasonal hiring offers more than just filling shifts. It's a strategic move that enhances the quality of care, reduces stress, supports your permanent team, and provides financial stability.
-
ensuring continuity of care:
By securing staff well in advance, you can ensure a consistent and full team of qualified professionals, maintaining the high standards of care your residents deserve.

preventing staff burnout:
Seasonal hiring prevents your team from being overworked during a high-pressure period. This protects their wellbeing, boosts morale, and helps prevent burnout.
-

The most experienced and sought-after aged care professionals are often booked for the holidays well ahead of time. Pre-booking with Randstad gives you priority access to our extensive talent pool.
-
