ShiftCare is progressive in its thinking of staff wellbeing & interest and as such we offer:

• Birthdays off: We understand that everyone deserves to celebrate their special day. That's why we offer a paid day off to all employees on their birthday
• Early-mark Fridays: We understand the importance of taking time off to recharge and relax. Once a month, employees can choose to extend their weekend by leaving their desk earlier on a Friday - 1pm sound good?1?
• Regular team and company events: We value the power of team building and social connections. Regular events throughout the year bring our employees together, from quarterly team workshops & team building sessions to bi-annual company-wide celebrations.
• Floating public holidays: Not everyone celebrates the same holidays, and that’s why we offer floating public holidays, take time off to celebrate preferred holidays, cultural traditions, or personal events.
• Remote work: Our remote work option demonstrates our commitment to supporting our employees’ work-life balance and ensuring their success both in and out of the workplace
• Employee Discount Marketplace: This an excellent way to help our employees to save money, enjoy more of the things they love, and make their hard-earned money go further.
