About CareShift

Fixing the infrastructure of care

CareShift was founded on a simple belief: that the people who look after others deserve better tools. We're building the platform that modern healthcare staffing has always needed.

Our Mission

Connect care workers to the right opportunities — safely, fairly, and efficiently.

The UK healthcare sector faces a staffing crisis exacerbated by outdated tools — spreadsheets, phone trees, and fragmented agency systems. We exist to replace that friction with a platform that works for everyone: workers who deserve transparent pay and flexible opportunities, and organisations that need reliable, compliant staff.

Our Story

Built by people who've lived the problem.

CareShift was founded by a team with direct experience in NHS workforce management and care home operations. After years of watching coordinators drown in admin and workers navigate opaque agency systems, we decided to build something better — a platform that respects every person in the care ecosystem.

We're based in London and are proud to be building UK technology for UK healthcare.

What we stand for

Care First

Every decision we make starts with the impact on care workers and the people they look after. Technology is a means, not an end.

Compliance Without Compromise

We believe robust compliance and operational efficiency aren't in conflict. We build tools that make doing the right thing the easy thing.

Transparent by Default

From pay rates to dispute resolution, we build openness into every feature. No hidden fees, no opaque processes.

Built for the UK

We're a UK company building for UK healthcare. Our team understands the NHS, the CQC, and the realities of care provision in Britain.

Worker-Centred

Healthcare professionals are not a commodity. We design our platform to respect workers' time, protect their rights, and support their careers.

Long-Term Thinking

We're building infrastructure for the future of care. That means sustainable growth, GDPR-compliant data practices, and a platform built to last.
