Questions care homes ask us
How quickly can I get cover?
Most shifts are filled within 15–30 minutes of posting. For same-day emergency cover, workers in your area are notified instantly and can accept in one tap.
How do I know workers are genuinely verified?
We check every worker's DBS certificate via the government's Update Service in real time — not a scanned copy. Training certificates are reviewed by our team. Right-to-work is verified digitally at onboarding. Professional indemnity insurance is platform-provided, not self-declared.
What if a confirmed worker cancels last minute?
ShiftCove automatically re-notifies the next matched workers in your area immediately. You are alerted in real time and the replacement process begins without you having to do anything.
How does payment work?
You pay ShiftCove the agreed hourly rate for the shift. We handle everything from there — paying the worker within 3 business days. You receive one clean invoice per shift. No timesheet approvals, no agency calls.
What care types does ShiftCove cover?
Residential care, supported living, domiciliary care, and complex/high-dependency needs. Domiciliary shifts include automatic GPS mileage tracking — no paper claims.
