Our Story

Built by Healthcare Staffing Experts

We started LocumShift AI because we lived the problem. After years of watching healthcare agencies drown in manual processes — endless phone calls, spreadsheet compliance tracking, and paper timesheets — we knew there had to be a better way.

Our Mission

Revolutionising UK healthcare staffing through intelligent automation

The UK healthcare system relies on tens of thousands of temporary healthcare workers every week. Behind each placement is a staffing agency juggling compliance documents, shift logistics, candidate communications, and payroll — most of it still done manually.

Our mission is to give every healthcare staffing agency — from a three-person startup to a multi-branch enterprise — access to the same AI-powered automation that was previously only available to the largest organisations.

Shifts filled in minutes, not hours

AI-ranked candidate outreach across WhatsApp, Telegram, and SMS simultaneously — the first to confirm is booked automatically.

Compliance that never sleeps

Daily automated checks across DBS, NMC, HCPC, and mandatory training — with expiry alerts before anything lapses.

Built for UK agencies of every size

From independent consultants to multi-branch enterprises — the same AI power, scaled to your operation.

Our values guide everything we build

Every line of code, every product decision, and every customer interaction is driven by these four core principles.

Innovation

We push the boundaries of what AI can do for healthcare staffing. From natural language processing to computer vision OCR, we apply cutting-edge technology to solve real operational problems.

Compliance

In healthcare, compliance is not optional. Every feature we build is designed with regulatory requirements at its core -- from CQC standards to GDPR, DPA 2018, and NHS frameworks.

Reliability

Healthcare never sleeps, and neither does LocumShift AI. Our platform is built for 99.9% uptime with redundant infrastructure, ensuring your operations run smoothly around the clock.

Security

We treat every piece of candidate and client data as if it were our own. AES-256 encryption, tenant isolation, and regular security audits are standard -- not premium add-ons.
