Role, time, rate, and anything the person needs to hold. Two minutes, and it is live to available workers near you — for tonight, or any shift in the next seven days.
Short notice,
sorted.
Venues post the hours they need covered. Workers pick up paid shifts that fit around everything else. Both sides turn up knowing exactly who they are dealing with.

WHAT IT IS
A shift board where both sides have a record worth reading.
IF YOU RUN THE VENUEYou see who you are about to hire.
Attendance, shifts completed, quality average and uploaded certificates, on everyone who says they are interested. Real evidence to choose from, not a stack of CVs.
IF YOU WORK THE SHIFTYou see who you are turning up for.
Whether the venue pays as stated, how quickly it confirms, and what other workers said afterwards. You know what you are walking into before you say yes.
WHAT WE PROMISE
Evidence, not promises.
JumpShift records what happened. It doesn’t guarantee what will. That’s the difference, and we won’t blur it.
HOW IT WORKS
Post it, read the records, pick someone.
Pick your hours, turn up, build your record.
Everyone who is interested arrives with their attendance record, shifts completed, quality average and uploaded certificates. You choose from evidence.
You engage the worker and pay them directly, exactly as you would today. Whether they showed up is recorded either way, so next time is easier.
Pay, hours, distance and the venue — including whether it pays as stated and how fast it confirms. Filter to tonight, the weekend, or whenever you are actually free.
One tap. No CV, no interview, no agency. Interest is not acceptance — the venue confirms, and you are told the moment it does.
Attendance and quality follow you to the next shift. It is the thing that gets you picked, it grows every time you turn up, and it is yours.
QUESTIONS
The ones worth answering up front.
Pick up a short-notice shift. UK venues post bar, waiting, kitchen and front-of-house shifts on JumpShift for the same evening or any day in the next week, so you can go from browsing to working in a few hours. The venue pays you directly at the rate shown in the listing — JumpShift never takes a cut of your wages and never charges workers a fee.
Yes. Plenty of listings are open to people starting out, and you apply with one tap — no CV and no interview. Every shift you complete adds to your attendance and quality record, which is what venues read when they pick someone, so your first few shifts are what unlock better-paid ones.
Up to seven days ahead. You can post for tonight, for the weekend, or for any day in the coming week, and the shift goes live to available workers straight away. JumpShift is built for short-notice cover rather than permanent recruitment, so there is no long-term contract to fill.
A shift takes about two minutes to post and goes live immediately to available workers nearby, so cover for the same evening is realistic. Speed depends on how many workers are free in your area at that moment — JumpShift shows you who is interested and their record, but it does not promise a fill.
Emergency cover when someone calls in sick, planned cover for a day off or a notice period, and extra hands for a busy weekend or a one-off event. Anything from tonight to seven days out. You post the hours you need, and there is no minimum commitment.
Workers pay nothing, ever. Venues get the first month free with no card, then £59 or £99 a month depending on the plan. There are no per-shift fees and no percentage taken from anyone’s pay.
No. The venue engages the worker and pays them directly, exactly as it would otherwise. JumpShift never holds, escrows or transfers wages.
No. Expressing interest is not acceptance. The venue confirms, and until it does you are not booked — the app tells you which one you are at every step.
No. Workers upload their certificates and they are shown with the expiry date attached. We do not check them against the issuing body, and we never claim to.
It is recorded against their attendance and it is visible to venues afterwards. The same applies in reverse: a venue that does not pay as stated carries that on its record.
The venue, as the engager. JumpShift gives you somewhere to collect and record the evidence, but the legal duty stays with you.
