Seasonality & Schedule

Our Clinical Care team operates within a seasonal business cycle, and we want candidates to have a clear picture of what to expect. During peak season (May through early December), our team plays a vital role in supporting business operations. Workload and scheduling demands increase during this time, and time off may be limited. Optional overtime may also be offered to meet business needs. Each year, the Clinical Care department observes a holiday shutdown of approximately 2–3 weeks between late December and early January. Please note that while Arine remains operational, the Clinical Care department is closed during this period. Following the shutdown, the team transitions back to full capacity on a modified schedule through February, during which some shifts or hours may differ from standard operations. We value transparency and encourage candidates who thrive in dynamic, seasonal environments to apply.
