Care Professionals

Your Skills Make a Difference. Let’s Put Them to Work.

Your work matters

Good people deserve good opportunities.

Every day, care professionals make a real difference in people's lives.

At Girocare, our job is to connect good people with care organisations that need their skills.

Whether you're an experienced Healthcare Assistant, Support Worker, Senior Carer, Registered Nurse or another care professional, we want to help you find opportunities that work around your experience, availability and working life.

Good people deserve good opportunities.

Work That Fits Around You

Everyone's circumstances are different.

Some people want regular agency shifts. Others want additional work alongside an existing job. Some prefer nights or weekends, while others want daytime work.

That's why we believe agency work should offer flexibility.

Depending on available opportunities, you may be able to work:

Day shifts
Night shifts
Weekends
Bank holidays
Short-notice shifts
Regular weekly shifts
Longer-term temporary assignments

Tell us about your availability and the kind of work you're looking for, and we'll work to match you with suitable opportunities.

Why Work With Girocare?

Flexibility

Your working life shouldn't have to look exactly like everybody else's.

Tell us when you're available and we'll work with that information when suitable shifts become available.

Different Opportunities

Working with an agency can give you experience across different care environments and organisations.

It can be a useful way to broaden your experience while discovering the settings in which you work best.

Clear Communication

You should know where you're going, when you're expected and what assignment you've accepted.

We aim to keep communication straightforward.

People Who Know You

We don't want you to feel like nothing more than a name on a staffing list.

As you work with Girocare, we want to understand your experience, strengths, preferences and availability so that we can make better staffing decisions.

Support When You Need It

If you have a question about an assignment or need to speak with us about your work through Girocare, our team is here to help.

More Than Just Finding a Shift

There are plenty of places where somebody can simply look for a job.

We want Girocare to offer something better.

We want to build a community of dependable care professionals who enjoy what they do and can develop an ongoing working relationship with us.

The better we understand you, the better we can understand the opportunities that may suit you.

Your experience matters.

Your availability matters.

Your preferences matter.

And the quality of the work you do matters.

You Choose Your Availability

One of the advantages of agency work is flexibility.

Through Girocare, you can tell us when you're available for work.

When suitable assignments become available, we can offer opportunities based on the needs of our clients and the information we hold about your availability and experience.

You remain responsible for deciding which offered assignments you accept.

Once you accept a shift, however, the care provider is relying on you.

That means reliability matters.

If you've committed to an assignment, we expect you to attend on time and provide the professional service expected of you.

Flexibility works best when it comes with reliability.

Joining Girocare

We've made the process as straightforward as possible.

2. Complete Your Registration

We'll guide you through the information and documentation needed for the roles you're interested in.

Already Working Somewhere Else?

That's fine.

You may be looking for additional shifts around an existing role rather than replacing your main job.

Subject to your existing employment arrangements, availability and applicable working-time requirements, agency work can provide another way to use your skills and earn additional income.

Tell us what availability you have and we'll work from there.

New to Agency Work?

You don't need to worry if you've never worked through an agency before.

We'll explain how working with Girocare works and what you can expect.

Before accepting an assignment, you should have the important information you need about the shift.

And if you have a question, ask us.

Agency work should not feel complicated.

Your Safety Matters Too

Care professionals spend their working lives supporting other people.

Your own wellbeing matters as well.

If you experience a serious problem during an assignment, feel unsafe, have a safeguarding concern or believe something needs to be brought to our attention, contact Girocare.

We want good communication in both directions.

Care providers should be able to speak with us about their staffing.

And the professionals working through us should be able to speak with us about their assignments.

Build Your Relationship With Girocare

The relationship doesn't have to end after one shift.

As you complete assignments and we get to know your work, availability and preferences, we can develop a better understanding of the opportunities that suit you.

Our aim is to build lasting relationships with professionals who care about the work they do.

As Girocare grows and develops relationships with more care providers, we want the people working with us to grow with us.
