Creating a shift
- Start by selecting the day you would like the shift to be created for from the date bar at the top of the screen.
- Select how many shifts you would like to create for this date. This makes it easier to create multiple shifts for 1 day
- The selected shift will be displayed in the "Shifts Created" section. Tap on the "Select a time" option to set the start and end time using the horizontal time selector.
- Choose the required certification level(s) for your shift. Selecting more levels increases your chances of filling the shift.
- Adding a bonus is a proven way to attract educators, make your shift stand out and increase your chances of filling your shift.

Auto repost a shift if it is unfilled
We also give you the option to auto-repost shifts.
If a shift remains unfilled within 30 minutes of its start time, it'll automatically be pushed back by an hour. Plus, all notifications will be sent out again to educators.
Your shifts will be reposted up to 3 times assuming the shift is still unfilled.

Post your shifts (all educators in the wider casual pool)
After entering all the necessary details, click on the blue "post to all" button located at the bottom right of the page. Wait for all the shifts to be posted before taking any further action. Once the process is complete, you can either post more shifts or click on "Back to all shifts" to view your entire shift schedule.
Post your shifts (to your favourites)
Centres have the option to select individual favourite educators who will get the first opportunity to take a shift. This means that these chosen educators will see the shift before anyone else.
These educators will have a 20-minute exclusivity to accept the shift before it is sent out to all other educators.
First to Accept Wins: The shift remains open until the first educator accepts it. Once an educator accepts the shift, it is no longer available for others.
After entering all the necessary details, click on the blue "select favourites" button located at the bottom left of the page.
You can choose specific favorite educators who will have the first opportunity to accept the shift. They will have a 20-minute window to accept the shift before it is made available to all other educators in the wider casual pool.
