In our fast-moving world, we all want more control over when, where and how work gets done. Whether you’re an employer who wants to be more adaptive to fluctuating staffing needs, or a job seeker wanting more freedom in your work schedule, at Connect, we’re the flexible work specialists.
Connect Staffing was born from the merger of Connect Health Services (established in 2004) and Elite Hospitality Personnel (established in 2015).
With almost 20 years of experience staffing Australia’s largest hospitality, healthcare and aged care organisations, we retain a high-performing workforce because we don’t just fill positions, we help people find fulfilment at work.
"Connect Staffing has allowed me to journey and explore Australia whilst meeting amazing nurses and health professionals along the way. It has given me front row seats to skills I may not have had opportunities to experience outside of Connect and I hope to continue developing my skills across WA."
"I enjoy working with Connect because the company offers flexibility to accommodate even nurses that are working full time and are willing to still help to cater for staff shortages in other hospital departments. I also enjoy the fact that this gives me the opportunity to work in different hospital environments and aged care homes which helps with my growth as a nurse. I love that the team is available to chat with when I am in need of help and support. I have recommended Connect to my work colleagues as well. I love the concept of having agency nurses as this has helped me and other nurses in times of staff shortage. Providing quality and safe care remains a high priority for most if not all hospitals and I feel that connect staffing helps make that value a reality by covering for staff shortages. I love being a part of a team that helps support hospitals in making patient care safe to deliver."
"I enjoy working with connect for the flexibility it gives me around my family. The Connect Staffing team are always very personable and helpful in trying to find shifts that you are requesting. The pay is also great in comparison to normal ward wages & other agencies too!"
"I joined Connect in January but already I can see it is an agency that really cares for their nurses! Booking shifts is so easy on the app and the allocation officers are so helpful. I always felt supported, they give me the opportunity to work in vast areas of healthcare and gain new experiences."
"I have recently joined Connect Staffing Group as a new agency employee and have loved every minute of my time so far. The sense of inclusion from the Connect Staffing Group has been one of the biggest draw cards for my employment with them. For example, the raffles for staff and the assistance with helping to attend training. That feeling of being supported when sometimes as an agency nurse you can feel quite alone has been the best thing about Connect Staffing and why I enjoy working for them. When I have finished a shift and had to phone through to allocations regarding a concern, they were lovely. When attending the office for the first time to collect my uniform, Ella was wonderful. It’s been an absolute pleasure."
