Set your weekly availability

By the end you can
  • Set recurring weekly availability and one-off blocked dates
  • Understand how availability feeds matching and notifications

Walkthrough

1
Open your availability
Sidebar → Calendar → Availability

Your working week as a grid — set the days and times you can genuinely take an assignment.

2
Block the dates you already know about

Holidays, appointments, the week you are away. Blocked dates keep you out of matching so you are not offered something you will have to decline.


3
Keep it current
Sidebar → Calendar

Availability that is months out of date is worse than none — it puts you in front of schools for days you cannot work, and declining repeatedly affects how often you are matched.

Worth knowing
  • Set half-days if you genuinely do half-days. Precision here means fewer wasted offers.
What goes wrong
  • Marking yourself available "in principle" for days you cannot really work. It costs you matches later.
