Two sides of the same platform, designed for the people who use it.
Enter the date, subject, and level. We handle the matching — no phone calls, no group chats, no spreadsheets.

Built specifically for the Irish school system — primary and secondary, urban and rural.
Our algorithm matches requests with available teachers in real-time, sorted by distance, subject, and availability. Urgent requests auto-escalate every 10 minutes.

See your entire week at a glance. Confirmed cover in green, gaps in red. Add a new request in one tap directly from the rota screen.
SubSwift auto-generates your OLCS claim data the moment a job is completed. Download pre-filled forms or go directly to the OLCS portal. No more manual paperwork.
Connect your VSware timetable and SubSwift automatically detects which periods need cover when a teacher calls in sick. One less thing to think about at 8am.
Track your fill rate, most-requested subjects, absence patterns, and cost per day. Exportable reports for your Board of Management or ETB.
Teachers get an annual income summary pre-formatted for Revenue self-assessment, based on OLCS payroll data. Download it at year end in one click.
Schools and teachers can message each other directly within SubSwift, attached to a specific job. No need to exchange personal numbers before a booking is confirmed.
Schools rate teachers. Teachers rate schools. Both sides see aggregated scores — so great teachers get more work, and great schools attract better candidates.
SubSwift was designed from day one around the legal requirements for employing substitute teachers in Ireland. Every layer of compliance is built into the platform, not bolted on.
Every teacher's vetting status is verified and displayed. Expiry alerts issued 60 days before lapse. Teachers automatically suspended from bookings if vetting lapses.
TC registration numbers are verified live against the Teaching Council database every 24 hours. Schools see real-time verified status on every profile.
All teachers confirm Child Safeguarding training on signup. DLP contact for each school is shared on booking confirmation. Mandated person obligations clearly stated.
Full GDPR compliance. Data stored on EU servers. Data Processing Agreement provided. Right to erasure, access, and portability built into the platform.
"We used to spend 45 minutes every morning ringing around for cover. SubSwift sorted it in under 20 minutes and I had confirmation before the students arrived. Genuinely changed our mornings."
"As a sub teacher, I was always waiting on calls that might never come. SubSwift shows me exactly what's available near me, what I'll be paid, and what the class is like before I accept. It's exactly what was missing."
"The compliance side alone is worth it. I can see each teacher's Garda vetting status, TC registration, and safeguarding cert before I book them. Our Board of Management is very happy with that."
