A new platform is set to shake up the care sector – giving control back to carers and delivering a faster, more cost-effective staffing solution for care providers.
Launched in 2025, AgoraStaff is a digital marketplace connecting care homes directly with qualified, vetted carers. Designed by care sector professionals who understand the pressures facing both providers and workers, AgoraStaff is tackling one of the industry’s biggest challenges: flexible, affordable, and reliable staffing – without the need for expensive recruitment agencies.
Empowering Carers with Flexibility and Fair Pay
For too long, carers have had to work through agencies that not only dictate when and where they work, but also take a significant cut of their pay. AgoraStaff is disrupting the norm with a fairer, smarter approach.
With AgoraStaff, carers:
- Choose when and where they work – no rota obligations or agency pressure
- Earn more – keeping up to 25–30% more per shift compared to traditional agency rates
- Get paid fast – typically within 72 hours of completing a shift
- Work with providers who value them – and rate their experience after each shift
- Enjoy a smooth, app-based onboarding process with support if needed
From sign-up to shift-ready, most carers can complete their profile in under 20 minutes. Agora uses trusted digital verification tools, including Yoti for ID checks and a live DBS status feed, ensuring safety and compliance for all parties.
Giving Providers Greater Control, Lower Costs, and Faster Coverage
If you’re a care provider frustrated by rising agency costs, unreliable cover, and limited control, you’re not alone. These are common challenges faced by care homes across the country – and AgoraStaff was built to solve them. AgoraStaff offers a modern alternative to the costly and time-consuming agency model.
Providers can:
- Post shifts and connect with carers in minutes
- Access a pool of pre-screened, qualified carers
- Avoid long negotiations or phone calls
- Reduce staffing costs significantly paying a flat 5% fee + minimal transaction costs, instead of 20-40% typical agency fees
Based on industry averages, a typical care home with around 50 staff may require temporary cover for 5–10% of their workforce daily. That equates to approximately 2.5 shifts per day, or 910 agency shifts per year. With potential savings of up to £44.44 per shift, care homes could realistically save up to £40,440 annually by switching to AgoraStaff — without compromising on quality, speed, or compliance.
This streamlined approach could free up tens of thousands of pounds per year to reinvest in resident care, staff development, or frontline services – rather than losing it to agency margins.
A Limited-Time Offer for Early Adopters
AgoraStaff offers flexible pricing: either £34.99 per month or £299.99 per year per location.
However, if you sign now, you’ll receive free lifetime access – no subscription fees, ever. That’s a saving of up to £420 per year, per location. After the deadline, all new sign-ups will receive a 3-month free trial.
And if affordability is a barrier, AgoraStaff is committed to supporting the sector: “If our fee would prevent you from accessing the support you need, please contact us – we’ll make sure you’re looked after.”
Building a Community of Trust and Transparency
AgoraStaff isn’t just a tech solution – it’s a values-driven platform created to make care work better for everyone. Carers are rated on reliability, professionalism, and performance – empowering providers to make informed choices and rewarding carers who go above and beyond.
By using technology to streamline the staffing process, AgoraStaff reduces admin, increases speed, and improves satisfaction on both sides – while keeping costs fair and transparent.
Now Launching in the South West
AgoraStaff is now onboarding both carers and care homes in Somerset, Bristol, and Bath, making it easier than ever to connect, cover shifts, and deliver high-quality care. By bringing more flexibility, fairness, and transparency to the sector, AgoraStaff helps keep more of the care sector’s budget in the hands of those who deliver and manage care – not those who profit from it.
