What you'll need to sign up

  • Photo ID and proof of your right to work in the UK
  • A card to pay your DBS check fee during sign-up
  • Any training certificates you already hold (you can add more later)
  • A few minutes to start your 30-day CSA CPD Training trial — this is what gives you access to apply for shifts

DBS check fees are £61.05 (Basic or Standard), £89.05 (Enhanced) — paid during sign-up, before your check is submitted. See the carers page and pricing for the full picture.

Signing up on your phone is quickest. Pop your number in and we'll send the download link.

You'll be working as self-employed

Every carer on Shiftium engages as a self-employed independent contractor — you choose your shifts and handle your own tax. Our self-employed guide covers registering with HMRC, self-assessment and setting money aside for tax.
