RotaBridge

For care providers

Fill care shifts without the agency scramble

Night cover, sick calls, last-minute gaps — RotaBridge gives you one place to publish shifts, see who can work, and approve qualified cover with a record you can trust.

Free plan includes 3 workers, unlimited sites, and 20 shifts/month. Workers never pay.

Cover gaps cost more than an empty shift

Care teams can't afford guesswork. When someone calls in sick, you need qualified cover fast — not another hour on the phone or a rushed agency booking.

Agency cover adds up fast

Every unfilled shift pushes you toward expensive agency staff. A clear internal pool saves money when cover works.

Who is actually qualified?

Not everyone can work every unit or role. Group chats don't filter — you find out at handover that the wrong person turned up.

Calls at unsociable hours

Night gaps and weekend sick calls mean managers ringing down lists at 10pm. There has to be a better way.

A real moment

Tuesday, 4:30pm

A care worker calls in sick for tonight's shift on Oak Ward. You publish the gap with the right role and site.

Two qualified staff claim within twenty minutes. You approve one — handover stays calm, and you avoided a last-minute agency call.

What care coordinators are saying

Care homes and supported living teams fill shifts faster — without the Sunday agency panic.

Sick calls on a Sunday used to mean ringing agency staff at double rate. Last month we filled a Saturday evening shift in under fifteen minutes — one of our regular HCAs saw it, claimed it, and I approved her on my phone.

Care Coordinator, Meadow View Home

Four locations, shift changes every week. Before this, I had four group chats and still missed things. One publish, workers at the right site see it, approve once — it's boring in the best way. Nothing falls through.

David Chen

Multi-site Manager, CareFirst Supported Living

Night cover is the hardest slot to fill. A carer called in at 9pm and I was dreading the phone tree. Posted the shift, two qualified staff claimed within twenty minutes, and the ward was covered before handover. The audit log helped when CQC asked who approved it.

How it works for care providers

Built for how care teams actually work — sites as units or homes, roles that match your staffing model.

  1. 1
    Admin

    Publish the gap with site and role

    Set the ward or home, required role, and shift time. Only staff registered for that role see the shift.

  2. 2
    Worker

    Your team claims eligible shifts

    Bank and permanent staff see open shifts in the worker app and claim what they can do.

  3. 3
    Admin

    Approve with confidence

    Review claims, assign cover, and keep a clear record — who published, who claimed, who you approved.

Questions from care providers

Can I restrict who sees which shifts?
Workers register for specific roles. When you publish a shift, only people with matching roles can claim it — so a care worker won't claim a senior carer slot.
Is this a care management or eMAR system?
No. RotaBridge does one job well: filling unassigned shifts fast. Care plans, medication, and compliance records stay in your existing systems.
Does it work for bank and agency pools?
Yes. Invite bank staff the same way as permanent team members. They claim open shifts from the worker app; you approve from admin.
Can I start on the free plan?
Yes — up to 3 workers, unlimited sites, and 20 shifts per month, no card required. Upgrade when your pool grows.
