Looking for more flexibility in your healthcare job? Whether you need to take time off between assignments or switch shifts or specialties, Thrive in 2025 with new locum tenens or per diem healthcare jobs that let you do just that.

How can you keep your work/life balance healthy while still moving forward in your career and pay? Whether you're advancing into a new role or starting fresh, say goodbye to rigid schedules with a more flexible way to work.

  • Float Pool Flexibility: Career flexibility isn't just for contractors! Bring variety into your life and schedule with full-time work in a resource/float pool.

#4: Ignite Opportunity with a Better Job Search

Your perfect match is waiting! Lastly, with thousands and thousands of healthcare jobs out there in 2025, it can be hard to know which one is best for you to thrive in — and sometimes, to even find it in the first place.

Whether you're looking for a permanent role or a new contract, you always want to see the best and newest listings when you're job searching — and the highest-paying jobs, too. And that's what you'll get in Thrive in '25 from HealthTrust!
