Compliance-gated bookings
DBS, right to work and mandatory training are checked before a carer can accept a shift — not chased afterwards.
For care providers
Cover the rota without the agency premium.
Staffing gaps, agency costs and paperwork pull your managers away from care. Post open shifts from the provider web app; only carers who meet your requirements can accept them; every booking and timesheet lands in one audit trail.
What you get
Fast cover
Last-minute gaps reach every qualified carer in range the moment you post them.
One audit trail
Bookings, documents, timesheets and invoices in a single exportable record, aligned to what inspectors ask for.
Self-billing invoices
Every shift gets its own invoice, generated automatically the moment you approve it as complete — no waiting for a billing cycle, no reconciling agency timesheets by hand.
Rate reliability, rebook your best
Every shift gets rated, and each carer has a separate reliability score built from no-shows and late cancellations. Nothing stops you booking the same great carer again — that's how a real bench forms.
No agency premium
A flat 10% platform fee on approved hours — no introduction or temp-to-perm charges if you later employ a carer directly.
No long-term contract
Rolling subscription per home. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
Simple, predictable pricing
1 month free, then a subscription from £24.99/month. Owner + 1 manager seat included (£5 / user / month for more), plus a 10% on approved hours platform fee on the hours actually worked and approved.
Provider FAQ
No — Shiftium is a marketplace, not an agency. Carers work with you directly as self-employed professionals; you stay responsible for your own regulatory compliance (CQC etc.), and we stay out of the care relationship itself.
