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.
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.
