Within three months of partnering with the SEIU Healthcare Training Centre and WorkersFirst, they have quickly become our preferred option for our temporary staffing needs. When we are urgently looking to fill shifts, they have been consistently able to help us meet our staffing ratios. More than that though, they built us a custom roster of extremely qualified and passionate PSWs & RPNs who have quickly become an extension of our Downsview LTC team. Our scheduling department has found the platform intuitive and seamless to use which alleviates a lot of the stress placed on them.”

Thanks to the SEIU Healthcare Training Centre and WorkersFirst Healthcare, members of our union now have the ability to pick up well-paying shifts when it works for their schedule. Instead of working 2-3 part-time jobs, all on fixed schedules, I can work one main job and then pick and choose extra shifts when and where they work for me. SEIU Healthcare has really created something special here.”
