Ready to ditch the traditional agency and take control of your roster? The TalentGrid app was designed to be as simple to use as ordering food or booking a ride.
Whether you are a Registered Nurse (RN), Enrolled Nurse (EN), or Healthcare Assistant (HCA), here is your step-by-step guide to getting verified and picking up your first shift.
Step 1: Create Your Profile
First, head to app.talentgrid.co.nz on your phone or computer.
- Enter your basic details (Name, contact information).
- Select your Role (e.g., Registered Nurse, Healthcare Assistant).
- Select your Region (e.g., Auckland, Wellington, Waikato). This ensures you only see shifts you can actually commute to!
Step 2: Upload Your Compliance Documents
For the safety of patients and facilities, you must be verified before you can book a shift. We've made this incredibly easy. Grab your phone and upload clear photos of:
- Your ID: Driver's License or Passport.
- Right to Work: If you are not an NZ citizen, upload your visa.
- Annual Practising Certificate (APC): Required for RNs and ENs.
- Qualifications: E.g., NZQA Level 3 or 4 for HCAs, or your Nursing Degree.
- Vaccinations: Proof of mandatory immunizations (Hep B, MRSA, COVID-19, etc.).
- Police Vet Consent: Fill out the form in the app so we can process your background check.
Our team manually reviews these documents. Usually, you will be verified within 24-48 hours.
Step 3: Browse Available Shifts
Once verified, the fun begins! Open the Shifts tab. Here you will see a live feed of every available shift in your region.
You can filter by:
- Date & Time: Only looking for weekend mornings? Filter for it.
- Pay Rate: Want to see the highest paying shifts first? Sort by pay.
- Facility Type: Prefer Aged Care over Hospitals? Set your preference.
Total Transparency: Set your required hourly rate in your profile. When you browse the live feed, you'll only see shifts from facilities that agree to your rate. Click on any shift to see the exact facility name, location, and requirements.
Step 4: Book the Shift
If a shift fits your schedule, simply tap Accept Shift.
Because you are already verified, that's it! The facility is instantly notified, and the shift is added to your calendar in the app. No waiting for a coordinator to confirm.
Step 5: Clock In, Clock Out, Get Paid
When you arrive at the facility, open the TalentGrid app to check the arrival instructions, and Clock In digitally. When your shift ends, Clock Out.
Your timesheet is automatically generated. The facility manager approves it digitally, and we process your payment—direct to your bank account, with the correct withholding tax applied.
It really is that simple.
