CareShift is rota, timesheets, payroll export and training-expiry tracking, built specifically for care homes — not a generic scheduling tool with a care skin over it.
No trial signup — every home starts with a real conversation, then a parallel-run pilot before you rely on it.
Dashboard, rota, training expiry, payroll export — no slideshow, just the real thing.
You buy it when something already hurts.
An inspection asked for training records we couldn't produce fast enough.
Agency spend keeps climbing and nobody can tell me by how much, or where.
The whole rota lives in one manager's head — and she's on leave this week.
Three real screens. This is what your managers actually open.
Apply a template, auto-fill open shifts against real availability, or copy last week and adjust. Cost and hours update live as you assign — and publishing is refused outright if it would breach minimum rest, not just flagged after the fact.
DBS checks, moving & handling, safeguarding, medication competency — one list, colour-coded, with a running count of what's expiring in the next 30 days. No more finding out during a CQC visit.
Payroll only ever sees timesheets that have actually been approved. Create a pay run, export a summary or detailed CSV for whatever system you already use, and mark it exported — the same hours can never be paid twice.
The big names weren't built for what a care home specifically has to prove.
| Generic scheduling tools | CareShift |
|---|---|
| Built for any industry — retail, hospitality, care, all the same features | Built for care: DBS/training expiry, agency spend, CQC-ready records |
| Priced per employee — grows more expensive as your team grows | Priced flat per site — growing your team doesn't cost more |
| Compliance is something you check yourself | Minimum rest and working-time rules are enforced automatically, not just recorded |
| A support ticket, response in 24 hours | A small team who already knows your setup |
Simple to quote, and it doesn't penalise you for growing.
Fifteen minutes, no obligation — bring a real week and we'll build it live.
