Open Shift Marketplace & Staff Availability Matrix [2026]
Empower healthcare staff with an open shift marketplace. Boost fill rates, reduce coordinator admin, and maximize workforce flexibility.
How It Works in Your Daily Operations
Publish Unfilled Shifts to Marketplace
Post advance or bank shifts to the internal marketplace with complete client details and pay rates.
Carers Browse & Request Shifts
Compliant carers browse matched shifts on their smartphone and request bookings that suit their schedule.
Instant Confirmation & Sync
Shifts are confirmed automatically or via coordinator approval, synchronizing seamlessly with master rotas.
Deep-Dive Capabilities & Safeguards
Built specifically for care agencies to eliminate manual work, prevent payroll disputes, and ensure statutory compliance.
Interactive Availability Calendar
Carers toggle days, mornings, evenings, or nights they are available to work with intuitive mobile controls.
Distance & Rate Filtering
Staff can filter the shift marketplace by distance (e.g. within 10 miles), client rating, or hourly pay band.
Peer-to-Peer Shift Swapping
Carers can offer shifts to colleagues, subject to compliance verification and coordinator final approval.
Overtime Safeguards
Marketplace hides or flags shifts that would push workers beyond safe fatigue or overtime limits.
