Understanding Supplies, Equipment, and Job Details on Go4

Every event and organization is different.

Some organizations have fully stocked athletic training rooms and medical staff on-site, while others may only have access to basic first aid supplies.

The Supplies, Equipment, and Job Details section allows organizations to provide Athletic Trainers with additional information about the event environment and any resources available on-site.

This information helps Athletic Trainers prepare appropriately for coverage and better understand what support may be available if an emergency occurs.

Viewing the Job Poster Profile

When viewing a job in the Job Feed, select the eye icon located below the shift name to view additional information about the organization posting the opportunity.

Athletic Trainers can view several important marketplace metrics:

Jobs Listed

The total number of jobs the organization has posted on Go4 throughout their lifetime on the platform.

Response Rate

Measures how often the organization responds to Athletic Trainer applications.

Organizations with higher response rates typically review applications more consistently and communicate more quickly with applicants.

Cancellation Rate

Measures how often the organization cancels shifts after Athletic Trainers have already confirmed coverage.

A lower cancellation rate generally indicates a more reliable hiring organization.

Examples of information commonly included include:

No.

Organizations are not required to provide medical supplies or equipment for an Athletic Trainer to work a shift on Go4.

Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals and are expected to bring the medical supplies and equipment they feel are necessary to safely support the event based on their experience and clinical judgment.

The contents of an Athletic Trainer's medical kit may vary from provider to provider depending on their experience, preferences, and the type of event they are covering.

Athletic Trainers Should Bring Their Own Medical Kits

Go4 expects Athletic Trainers to arrive prepared to provide care regardless of what supplies may or may not be available on-site.

Athletic Trainers should plan to bring a standard medical kit appropriate for the type of event they are covering.

The contents of a medical kit may vary from provider to provider based on experience, specialty, and personal preferences.

Why Do Organizations List Supplies?

While organizations are not required to provide supplies, visibility into available resources can be extremely helpful when preparing for coverage.

Examples of supplies or equipment organizations may provide include:

• Ice
• Water
• Treatment tables
• AEDs
• Athletic training rooms
• Emergency equipment
• Splinting materials
• Crutches
• Access to radios or communication devices

This information allows Athletic Trainers to plan accordingly and avoid unnecessary duplication of equipment.

Understanding Job Details

The Job Details section allows organizations to communicate information that may not fit elsewhere in the posting process.

Examples include:

• Athlete ages
• Expected attendance
• Venue logistics
• Parking instructions
• Check-in procedures

The more detail included in this section, the better Athletic Trainers can determine whether the opportunity aligns with their experience and expectations. Job postings with richer detail tend to create better experiences for both organizations and Athletic Trainers.
