Frequently Asked Questions

Is mobilehealth nursing a good career choice?

Yes! We seek out the best and most rewarding opportunities in patient healthcare and clinical studies around the world, giving you access to meaningful, flexible work that pays well.

Once you become part of the seacolehealth family, we’ll support you every step of the way. Every individual in our talent pool has been carefully selected, and we go above and beyond to provide you with the very best opportunities that match your needs.

Your success is our business, and we provide all our agency staff with learning and development opportunities that will help you to progress in your career with confidence.

Is this a full-time position?

No. Our mobilehealth nursing positions are flexible, ad-hoc opportunities on a per diem basis. The roles are suited to healthcare professionals looking for a meaningful side gig to complement their current role, or to fit flexibly around family or other commitments.

Our mobilehealth nurse positions are also great for practitioners close to retirement who want to keep their skills active.

Do I need to have worked in mobilehealth before to be successful?

No. We only ask that you have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in acute care with extensive phlebotomy experience within the last year. We will then provide you with any training that you need to prepare you for your role, and we will continue to support you at every step of your journey with us.

Do I need to have any research experience?

Definitely not! However, having an intellectually curious mindset we find does really help you to get the most out of the role and to appreciate the value that our bespoke care brings to a successful trial outcome.

Before you start a placement with us, we provide standardised training on research, and also offer a one-to-one session with our Director to ensure you feel completely confident in your role.

Do you pay travel time?

In general, your travel time will be paid at your daily rate plus mileage, but we will manage this on a case-by-case basis and let you know exactly what to expect before you take on any role.

For clinical care nurses, we will usually allocate jobs to you that are within a 4-hour drive from your place of residence. However, the sky’s the limit – if you are happy to travel further afield, or even out of state, then please just let us know.

Positions that are onsite at physical work locations for set hours per week typically do not pay travel time.

Will I receive benefits?

No. All our staff are 1099 contractors which means that this is not a benefited position.

Is there a minimum number of hours I must work per week?

No, there is no minimum commitment. We are looking for people to be open to working flexibly and have availability to do so. After that, it’s up to you!

How much will I be paid?

Your actual rate of pay will depend on the contract and role on offer, but our pay scales are largely based on the regional base rate in your area, plus up to 70% more on top.

Do I need to bring any supplies with me to the patient’s home?

Yes, but we will supply these to you. When you start with us we will send you an initial shipment of PPE and any other kit that might be required. It will then be up to you to transport what you need to a patient’s house. We will also set you up with an ID badge and a set of scrubs.
