Looking for flexible weekend or short-term respite work in Reepham?

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical respite cover includes assistance with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, light domestic tasks and social support — always agreed with the family. Shifts are often overnight or weekend blocks, short-term stays, or a few hours at a time. Work in Reepham can also mean occasional calls across nearby areas such as Aylsham, Dereham, Holt, Fakenham, Norwich and North Walsham; you choose how far you’re willing to travel.

The platform handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you and includes insurance while you work.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
