Fully verified, zero surprises

Know exactly who is walking through your door before they arrive. Every professional is checked before they can accept: GDC registration, right to work, DBS, and indemnity where the role needs it. It’s all in the TempDash Business app once they’re booked.

The right specialist, every time

Implant nursing, orthodontics, sedation or general dentistry. Whatever your list calls for, your cover arrives with the clinical skills to match, and your session runs as planned.

What TempDash is

Technology that does the heavy lifting.

Traditional locum booking relies on manual phone calls and human guesswork. TempDash is a modern technology platform powered by advanced matching algorithms and automated compliance infrastructure, handling your credential checks, real time matching and secure settlements from the moment your shift is posted.

Identity, right to work, DBS and professional registration are vetted before a professional can even accept a shift. Then TempDash keeps checking: registration is re verified against the GDC register automatically, and again before every shift, locking out anyone whose credentials lapse. Nothing slips through on your watch.

Smart Matching finds a verified professional at the right rate for your shift, showing you the full cost, platform fee included, before you ever post.

Smart Matching does the heavy lifting. You set your terms and budget, review verified professionals and connect directly for your shift, with complete transparency from post to payout.

Create your account, confirm your business and sign, all in the app. Add your first location and you’re ready to post your first shift.

Get started

TempDash Business

From gap to covered, without picking up the phone.

TempDash Business puts your whole rota in your pocket. Cover any shift, follow the day as it happens, and close it out with total confidence.

Step 1

Filled at the optimum rate

Our Smart Matching engine scans the market to lock in a checked professional at the right price, with the full, transparent cost displayed before you ever commit.

Step 2

Total control, live on the day

Watch your rota come alive. Live ETAs, arrivals as they happen and a direct line to everyone booked. Zero guesswork, zero phone tag.

Step 3

Timesheets that run themselves

Times come straight from the shift, so the timesheet is right first time. Booked hours settle when the shift ends and only overtime waits for your yes.

And then it’s settled

One clean bill. Zero reconciliation.

No paper invoices to chase and no month end admin to wrestle with. Every shift is tracked automatically and lands on one clear bill, settled once the shift is done. Your books stay balanced, and your professionals are paid straight to their TempDash wallet.

Checked before they can accept, not after they arrive.

What we check

  • Professional registration verified up front, then watched, so nothing lapses between shifts
  • Right to work checked to the standard you are legally obliged to hold
  • Identity confirmed against real photo ID, never a photocopy
  • Every document the role needs, in date on the day of the shift

For dental groups

One account. Every practice. Total control.

Run every location under one organisation. Top up centrally, set budgets for each practice, invite your managers with the permissions their role needs, and see who booked what across the group.

  • Multi practice organisations
  • Central top ups and budgets
  • Team roles and permissions
  • Reports on every booking

Control

Stay in control of every pound.

  • Permissions for each person

    Choose what everyone on your team can do, location by location, from posting shifts to approving hours.

  • Spending limits

    Give each person a monthly limit. Anything that would take them over it waits for your approval.

  • Every location, its own budget

    Share out one balance between your locations, and move it as plans change.

  • Extra time, your call

    Booked hours are paid automatically. Any extra time comes to you before it’s paid.

  • Only pay for cover

    If a professional can’t make it, we look for someone else. If nobody can take it, you’re not charged.

  • Your account stays yours

    Top ups, payment changes and team changes ask for your PIN or your face. Turn on two step verification and a new phone has to prove it’s you.

What it costs

Smart pricing. Nothing hidden.

Complete clarity before you commit. Smart Matching reads the market to find great cover at a fair price, always within your budget. The full breakdown, our platform fee included, is shown up front, with no agency in the middle and nothing added after.

Questions, answered.

How quickly can we get a shift covered?
Instant broadcast, zero callbacks. Your shift reaches qualified professionals the moment you post it, and you watch interest arrive live in the TempDash Business app instead of waiting on an agency to ring back. How fast it fills depends on the role, the day and the rate, and if a shift is slow to move we tell you what would help.
Are they employed by us?
No. Zero employment admin. Every professional is self employed and chooses to accept your shift, so you get the cover without taking anyone on or running a payroll.
Can we book the same professional again?
Build your dream rota. Keep a list of the professionals who already know how your team works, and offer them shifts directly. Your best cover is always one tap away.
How does smart pricing work?
Smart pricing, total budget control. You set the rate you would like to pay and the most you are willing to go to. Smart Matching starts at your rate and only raises the offer when the shift needs it. It never goes past your ceiling, and it never surprises you with a hidden fee.
Can we ask for a particular specialism?
Yes, down to the exact skill. From implant nursing to sedation and paediatric experience, pick what your session needs and choose whether each is strictly required or a nice to have. Strict requirements are only offered to professionals who hold them.
What do we pay, and when?
Total price transparency, zero fuss. You see the full cost before you post. When the shift is done it settles onto one clean bill.
