Tired of Expensive Care Staffing Agencies? Discover Click Shifts with Flourish

Christian Bartlett, Partnership Manager with our partner, Flourish (formerly Grey Matter Learning), explains below the benefits of using their Click Shifts platform to help with your staffing needs.

**********************************************************

For 17 years, as Grey Matter Learning, we empowered over 100,000 carers through dedicated social care training. Now, under our new name Flourish, we’ve collaborated with our customers to introduce Click Shifts — a free-to-join temporary staffing platform designed to ease the high costs of recruitment and retention (…think Uber for care!).

After a hugely successful pilot in the North West, we’re expanding across the UK and are excited to invite you to register your interest in joining the platform here.

How It Works for Care Providers Seeking Staff

• Easy Access: Register your organisation for free, specify your location, and start offering shifts to local, vetted care workers.
• Reduce Agency Dependence: Click Shifts can help minimise your reliance on agencies, potentially saving thousands annually. You’ll only pay a nominal, one-time booking fee per shift—no contracts, no hidden fees.
• Quality Assurance: All workers undergo DBS checks, verification of mandatory training certificates, and reference validation. Plus, our review system ensures peace of mind, knowing your service users are in capable hands.

For Care Workers Seeking Extra Hours

• Flexible: Click Shifts lets you find additional hours that fit around your existing commitments. Set your own rate and availability, keep 100% of your pay.
• Quick Start: Create a free profile and start accepting shifts from local care providers or individuals seeking support.

Together we can make care work. We’d love for you to join us on this journey. Register your interest here and get your first shift booking at no cost.
