Purpose-built tools for agency midwifes
Shift tracking
Log every shift with date, rate, and workplace. Track each one from confirmed through to paid. Search, filter, and export to CSV.
Invoicing, when you need it
Generate PDF invoices for direct work, download them, or send by email with delivery and open tracking. Agency and PAYE shifts skip the invoice step entirely. They settle straight from delivered to paid.
Works however you get paid
Log self-invoiced, agency-managed, and PAYE shifts side by side. Tax reserve only where it applies; PAYE income shows on the dashboard but doesn't inflate your set-aside because the tax has already come off at source.
Expenses & mileage
Log expenses across 17 profession-aware categories with HMRC-approved mileage rates. Attach receipt photos or PDFs. Filter by category and date, export to CSV.
Professional documents
Upload your DBS, indemnity, NMC registration certificate, and training records. Expiry tracking with colour-coded alerts and automated reminders.
Tax planning
Model your tax position as self-employed or limited company. Income tax, NIC, corporation tax, dividend tax, and pension contributions, all calculated with current HMRC rates.
Availability calendar
Mark full days or half days as available, tentative, or unavailable. Block book date ranges. Confirmed shifts sync automatically. Visible on your public profile.
Your NMC PIN on your profile
Your NMC PIN appears on every invoice you generate and on your public profile in the directory. Organisations can verify your Nursing and Midwifery Council registration at a glance, no back-and-forth emails, no chasing paperwork. It is the professional standard, built in from day one.

What does Sessional track for midwives?
Sessional tracks every shift with date, hourly rate, and workplace. It also manages invoices, expenses with HMRC mileage rates, professional documents including your NMC registration, and tax planning for self-employed or limited company structures.
Can I track expenses as a locum midwife?
Yes. Sessional supports expense logging across 17 profession-aware categories with HMRC-approved mileage rates. The category picker surfaces what your regulator and indemnity body expect. Attach receipt photos or PDFs to every expense, filter by category and date, and export to CSV at tax time.
Does Sessional work with NMC registration?
Yes. Sessional understands NMC registration and your NMC PIN. It appears on every invoice you generate and on your public profile in the directory, so organisations can verify your Nursing and Midwifery Council registration at a glance.
Does Sessional work for midwives who work via agencies or umbrella PAYE?
Yes. Each shift is logged with a billing mode: self-invoiced, agency-managed, or PAYE at source. Agency and PAYE shifts skip the invoice step; PAYE income does not contribute to your tax reserve because the tax is already deducted at source. You can mix modes freely, and Sessional handles the split automatically on the earnings dashboard and tax planner.
