How the desk runs
One platform, from the rota to the weekly pay run.
Set the pattern once
A school needs cover for a Year 4 class tomorrow. Nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — set the pattern once and the run is created rather than entered shift by shift.
Work the whole run together
A big order arrives as a run of shifts, not one booking. Work all of them together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk covers them.
Break and fatigue rules applied
The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you have configured sit alongside the booking, so a teacher is not rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.
Today, across every school
Timeline puts the day's shifts across all schools in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the safer recruitment file is complete before the teacher arrives, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.
Hours in, week paid
PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, and umbrella where the placement requires it, built from the hours actually worked once the school has approved them.
Cover and fill-rate
Dashman shows fill-rate by school, bookings by teacher and the subjects you are short of.
Checks and clearances
Safer recruitment evidenced before the placement
Schools ask for the file, not a summary. Every check sits on the worker record with its date, so a single vacancy request can be answered without assembling it again.
How documents and expiry work- Enhanced DBS and barred list check with expiry alerts
- Safer recruitment references confirmed on the record
- Qualified teacher status and qualifications
- Prohibition checks recorded against the placement

Questions
Shift Education recruitment software questions.
Can it handle repeating rota patterns?
Set the pattern once — nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — and the run of shifts is created from it rather than entered one at a time.
Are break and fatigue rules enforced?
The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you configure sit alongside the booking, so the desk sees the conflict before a teacher is committed to it.
How are a run of shifts filled quickly?
Bulk shift copy and the Booking Desk work a whole run together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk fills them.
Does approved time feed payroll directly?
Approved hours build the weekly pay queue and carry into invoicing in the same run, rather than being re-keyed into a separate payroll system.
What checks does a education placement need?
Schools ask for the file, not a summary. Every check sits on the worker record with its date, so a single vacancy request can be answered without assembling it again. The desk holds enhanced DBS and barred list check with expiry alerts, safer recruitment references confirmed on the record, qualified teacher status and qualifications, prohibition checks recorded against the placement.
