Addressing Today’s Workforce, Compliance and Cost Pressures in Adult Social Care

Adult social care providers across the UK are operating under intense and competing pressures: persistent workforce shortages, rising agency spend, administrative strain and a growing need to evidence compliance at every stage of the staffing process. With increasing scrutiny from regulators and local authorities – and varying standards across multiple agencies – ensuring that every temporary worker is appropriately vetted, qualified and documented has become just as challenging as filling the shift itself.

At the same time, care organisations must maintain continuity of care, manage complex rota demands, and protect quality outcomes for residents and service users. These realities reflect wider sector trends, where vacancy rates remain high and the need for transparency and consistency in workforce management has never been more important.

Magnit Shift helps care providers bring greater structure, oversight and simplicity to managing agency staffing – offering one place to view, track and manage the workforce, strengthen compliance processes, and improve decision-making without adding extra operational burden.

 

What Magnit Shift Helps You Do

Gain Visibility Across Your Workforce

Instead of navigating multiple agencies and fragmented data, teams can access real-time insight into contingent workforce deployment and spend in one platform. This transparency supports clearer planning, more predictable staffing and better conversations with agency partners.

Fill Shifts Faster and More Efficiently

Shift requests can be raised, distributed and filled more quickly, helping providers improve fulfilment rates and reduce time spent chasing availability – ultimately protecting continuity of care.

Strengthen Compliance and Quality Assurance

Magnit Shift enables consistent compliance checks, documentation capture and governance across all agency workers. This helps care providers reduce risk, maintain standards and meet regulatory expectations more reliably.

Improve Cost Control

With standardised rate cards, benchmarking data and better transparency of agency usage, providers can identify inefficiencies, stabilise spend and ensure value without compromising the quality of care delivered.

Ensures Continuity of Service

Magnit Shift helps maintain continuity of service through strong supplier management, proactive assurance practices and clear alignment with industry standards. By regularly reviewing supplier performance, reinforcing compliance and applying proven governance, we help reduce risk and maintain the stability your care services depend on.
