How it works

From sign-up to a filled chair,
without the phone-around

One streamlined flow for both sides — built around verification first, so every match is a safe one.

Create your account

Sign up as a nurse or a practice. A guided setup collects exactly what's needed — nothing more.

Get verified

Nurses upload GDC, indemnity, ID, CPD-BLS and DBS in one tap each. Practices are checked by our team before they can post.

Match & book

Practices post a shift; nearby verified nurses see it instantly in a feed ranked by distance, pay and preferences.

Work & get paid

GPS check-in on arrival, a live timeline through the day, and payment handled automatically by Stripe.

The platform

Everything dental staffing needs,
in one place

Smart shift matching

Every open shift is scored for every nurse — distance, pay, urgency, past workplaces and personal preferences — then served as a personalised "For You" feed. Practices reach the right nurses instead of a noticeboard.

🗂️

Compliance built in

Document upload in one tap, team review, expiry tracking — and shifts stay locked until everything is on file.

📍

GPS check-in & live timeline

Geofenced arrival confirmation and a live status trail from application through to payment.

💳

Automatic payments

Practices pay by saved card in-app; nurses receive earnings straight to their bank via Stripe Connect.

🔄

Standby backup pool

If a confirmed nurse has to cancel late, the shift fans out to a ranked standby pool to find a replacement fast.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How quickly can a shift get filled?
The moment you post, every verified nurse within range is notified and sees the shift in their ranked feed. Urgent same-day shifts are flagged and pushed to the top. How fast it fills depends on nurses near you — which is why we verify and onboard nurses area by area.
What does it cost?
Nurses pay nothing — no fees, no commission on pay. Practices pay the nurse's rate plus a flat £40 booking fee (+ VAT) per filled shift. No subscriptions and no charge for posting a shift that doesn't fill.
How are nurses vetted?
Every nurse must upload five documents — GDC certificate, professional indemnity, photo ID, CPD & BLS, and an enhanced DBS check — before they can accept any shift. Our team reviews each document, and expiry dates are tracked so lapsed documents lock shifts again automatically.
How do nurses get paid?
Through Stripe. After a shift is completed and the timesheet is approved, payment goes straight to the nurse's bank account — no invoicing, no chasing.
What if a nurse cancels last-minute?
The shift automatically fans out to our standby backup pool — verified nurses who've opted in for short-notice cover, ranked by reliability and distance — to find a replacement fast.
Is my data safe?
Data is stored on Google Cloud (Firebase) with strict access rules, payments are processed by Stripe (we never see card numbers), and we operate GDPR-compliant processes including full account deletion on request.
