Carers can now manage their availability more easily and flexibly from the ShiftCare mobile app. In addition to adding one-off available dates, carers can also create recurring availability entries.
This article will guide carers through the availability workflows in the mobile app.
Adding One-Off Availability
Open the app menu and tap on 'Availability'. This will open your availability calendar.
Tap the floating + button at the bottom right of the screen.
Tick the 'Available' option.
Fill out the date section. If you are only available for part of the day, toggle off the 'All Day' option and input the time you will be available. You can add more than one time slot.
Tap 'Save'.
Adding Recurring Availability
Recurring options let you automate your schedule for repeated patterns of availability.
Open the app menu and tap on 'Availability'.
Tap the floating + button at the bottom right of the screen.
Tick the 'Available' option.
Fill out the date section. If you are only available for part of the day, toggle off the 'All Day' option and input the time you will be available. You can add more than one time slot.
Toggle on the 'Repeat' option.
Click on the 'Repeating' dropdown menu. You can choose to repeat your availability:
Daily: Repeat every 1 to 15 days
Weekly: Repeat every 1 to 12 weeks, with the option to select certain days of the week (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri every week)
Monthly: Repeat every 1 to 3 months on a chosen day (e.g., the 15th of every month)
Adjust the 'Ends on' date. This can be set up to 1 year from the start date.
Tap 'Save'.
