Libraries

Libraries have experienced significant cutbacks in funding over recent years. Fortunately, more and more people are stepping forward to keep these vital services running. They may help with home deliveries and extracurricular activities, as well as be on hand to facilitate the day-to-day operations and promotional events. Why not reduce the administrative burden even further by managing your team of volunteers with ShiftPlanner?

Riding schools and equestrian sports

Many equestrians spend a lot of their time at riding schools and are keen to do their bit. Extra help, of course, is always needed and volunteers will often play a big part in the day-to-day care of the horses. They might carry out duties such as grooming, cleaning, saddling, etc. With ShiftPlanner, volunteers can register for shifts, as well as indicate their preferred shifts and future availability.

Schools and childcare centres

Lunchtimes can be pretty rowdy in primary schools. Teachers go off on their lunch break while parents are left to keep a watchful eye over the playground. This calls for a well-planned volunteer roster to make sure sufficient help is on hand. Even crossing guards and support staff can schedule their shifts with ShiftPlanner to better manage their time and obligations.

Playgrounds and swimming pools

Parents and guardians are sometimes needed to offer extra support at playtime, be that on the playground or at the swimming pool. With ShiftPlanner, you can define shifts throughout the day to which parents can then commit themselves. This makes it easier to plan ahead and see who is supervising and when. The system will also send out automatic reminders to ensure that shifts don’t get forgotten or overlooked.

Animal shelters

Working at an animal shelter is possibly the best type of voluntary work—assuming that you like animals, of course! However, your volunteers may only want to work with certain species. With ShiftPlanner, you can keep an up-to-date record of this information and divide your volunteers accordingly into groups. You’ll then know exactly who to call if extra help is needed with the cats, dogs or rodents.

Social care and assisted living

If someone in your family needs care, try using ShiftPlanner to divide the responsibilities. As a coordinator, you define the times and duties available. Volunteers can then log in and sign up for the shifts that suit them. For families, this can help to relieve the worry of organizing care while making it easy to see who is doing what and when.
