Care homes deal with enough pressure without last-minute rota issues adding to the workload. When a member of the team calls in sick, a shift overruns or resident needs increase, finding someone to step in quickly can be difficult. It puts strain on the team you already have and can impact the continuity of care residents rely on.

A Simpler Way to Organise Temporary Staff

ShiftPlan gives care homes a straightforward way to bring in temporary staff without the usual back-and-forth. Everything sits in one place, so instead of ringing around or juggling spreadsheets, managers can book shifts, update rotas and keep track of who’s available in just a few minutes. It removes a lot of the stress from short-notice staffing and helps maintain safe levels of cover.

Clear, Real-Time Updates for Your Whole Team

One of the biggest challenges in care is keeping everyone on the same page. ShiftPlan sends updates and shift confirmations straight to staff, so there’s less room for confusion or crossed wires. If something changes, managers can adjust the rota and the team sees it instantly. It cuts down on missed messages and keeps the home running smoothly.

Support That Helps You Focus on Residents

When staffing is under control, teams can focus on what matters most: delivering good, consistent care. ShiftPlan helps reduce disruptions, gives managers more clarity and keeps families confident that their loved ones are in safe hands. It’s a simple system that makes a noticeable difference to the day-to-day running of a care home.
