A “pool” position is posted when there is a need to fill multiple openings for the same position. It is important when completing the application that you fill out the “Which job status/shift would you accept?” section in its entirety. The “pool” positions may be full time, part time, or relief work hours, day, evening, or night shifts, and many require weekend and holiday availability. When the recruiter reviews “pool” applicants, they will forward qualified applicants to the open positions based on the position’s shift requirements and your indication of what type of status and/or shifts you would accept.

A “Relief” or “PRN” position works as needed. Typically this position is utilized by management to assist in covering vacations, call outs, and other staff shortages and is not guaranteed a minimum amount of hours per pay period.

Variable shifts mean that the position is not assigned to a particular shift (days, evenings and/or nights). The position may require working rotating shifts, occasionally working another shift, or both. Variable hours are similar in that the position may require working different hours on different days. Many positions that require variable shifts/hours also require weekend availability.

Each job posting lists the primary location for the position. This information is listed on the Open Positions page, under the job title. If “Kent/Milford Locations” is listed, the position may be at either Bayhealth Kent Campus in Dover or at Bayhealth Sussex Campus in Milford. It also means the position may be required to travel to either campus, as needed.
