Instant confirmations

Accept shifts in a tap and see your schedule update instantly - no more "just checking you got my message".

Used by workers across the UK to secure more shifts, earn more consistently, and manage bookings easily from their phone.

The challenge

  • Offers arrive via calls, texts, and group chats, so it is easy to miss something or reply too late

  • Shift workers are never quite sure which shifts are actually confirmed and which were just “possibles.”

  • Agencies spend hours chasing replies and double‑checking who is in for tomorrow’s rota.

How ShiftNest helps

  • Shift workers get clear offers with all key details and can accept or decline in one place.

  • Accepted shifts move straight into live schedules for workers, agencies, and facilities, cutting out uncertainty.

  • Agencies see confirmations in real time, so they stop over‑offering shifts and reduce last‑minute scrambles.

Everything you need for shift alerts

Confirm work from your phone in seconds.

One‑tap acceptance

Shift offers arrive in the app with a simple choice to accept or decline, so you can respond quickly without calling back. Once accepted, the shift status flips to confirmed for you and for the agency, removing any doubt.

Full details before you decide.

Know exactly what you are signing up for

Automatic email notifications confirm bookings, cancellations, and key changes, giving agencies and facilities a written trail. This helps teams who still rely on email stay aligned without manual forwarding or ad‑hoc messages

Your confirmed shifts in one view.

Live schedule updates

When you confirm, the app adds the shift to your schedule and updates the live rota used by agencies and facilities. Everyone sees the same picture of who is working where, which cuts down on duplicate bookings and confusion.

Log your hours and get signed off without chasing paper.

Timesheet submission

At the end of each shift, you record your start, finish, and breaks straight from your phone, so hours are captured while they are still fresh. Once submitted, facilities can sign off digitally and approved timesheets sync back to your agency, helping you get processed and paid faster without lost forms or delays.
