Why BrightCare?
Most scheduling tools are built for cafes and retail, then adapted for care homes as an afterthought. BrightCare was built from inside the care sector, by a care assistant who experienced the problems firsthand. Here is what makes it different.
Built for care home rotas
Fortnightly patterns, night shifts, split shifts: the way care homes actually work. Not a generic weekly scheduler designed for restaurants.
Leave calculated correctly
Annual leave in hours from contracted hours, not a flat 28-day default. Every care home's actual formula, built in.
Agency costs separated
Most care homes only discover their agency bill when the invoices arrive, by which point it is too late to change anything. BrightCare shows your agency spend live, updated every time a shift is logged. When you can see the number growing in real time, you make different decisions.
Payroll you can trust
Every shift reviewed and approved before it touches payroll. Hourly rates locked at approval so a pay rise never rewrites past wages.
SSP policy built in
Sick pay policy configured once in Settings. BrightCare applies it automatically: SSP only, full pay, or custom.
Built by someone in care
Not a software team that visited a care home once. Built by a care assistant in Darlington who still works shifts, and has lived the payroll errors and rota chaos this product fixes.
