Working as an interim healthcare consultant is an exciting career opportunity that enables you to travel the country, expand your skill set, and impact the organizations where you work. You’re able to choose assignments that suit your interest, meaning that you could work a few cities away or on the opposite side of the United States. When opting to travel, especially further away, you may wonder how housing is handled.
When you work in an interim healthcare role, the recruiter you partner with will typically handle the travel and accommodation arrangements. The recruiting firm will most likely have an existing relationship with local hotels and rentals making the entire process seamless.
If you work with LeaderStat, your needs will always be taken into consideration. Beth Lykins, a LeaderStat Consultant Specialist, says, "For assignments that last 30 days or longer, we always work to accommodate our consultants with long-term amenities for their lodging. This includes a full kitchen, so consultants feel more at home and can manage their lifestyles the way they would normally.” This can be especially good news for many who prefer to prepare their own meals instead of eating out each night.
Wondering if you can use your hotel rewards number when accommodations are booked? The answer is yes! Beth says, “Rewards are a bonus we can provide to our interims as well! If they have a rewards number or membership with a certain hotel chain, they are entitled to all the points that are earned during their stay. The safety and comfort of our employees is one of our top priorities, so we have a partnership with Hilton and Marriott brand hotels. This ensures that we can book top quality accommodations in safe areas for everyone who is traveling while on assignment."
Another question we often get asked is if an interim consultant can travel with their pet. Beth says, “We encourage our interims to bring along their furry companions and are always willing to book pet friendly accommodations.”
Being an interim consultant can be exciting, challenging work, and the healthcare recruiting firm you partner with should make the travel and housing process as easy as possible.
