This work suits experienced carers who want control over their day-to-day work and a closer relationship with the people they support.

What the role involves (typical daytime visits):

  • Practical support including meal preparation, shopping or picking up prescriptions.
  • Medication prompts and monitoring to help clients stay safe at home.
  • Companionship and errands – a friendly, reliable presence matters as much as clinical tasks.

Applying takes minutes and your profile commonly goes live within days of verification.
