Healthcare assistants, retired nurses, home-care staff, QQI Level 5 graduates, nursing students — Here2Help is paid, flexible, structured work that uses exactly the skills you already have. €60 per booking, €20 per extra hour.
A discharge escort isn't taxi work — it's care work with a car. Every part of the booking is something you've already done a hundred times in a ward, a home care setting, a nursing home, or on placement. Helping someone out of bed. Reading a discharge sheet. Recognising when a patient isn't quite as fine as they're saying. Holding a steady conversation while you settle them in. Spotting the small things that the family wouldn't.
What we add is structured bookings, a fair fixed fee, paid weekly, and the freedom to take as many or as few as you want. You're not on a roster. You're not on a zero-hour contract with a home-care provider. You're an independent contractor who picks the work that fits the rest of your week.
Currently or recently working in HSE wards, private hospitals, nursing homes, or home care. You already have Garda vetting and you already know the work. Pick up Here2Help bookings on your days off or between contracts.
Registered with the NMBI or recently retired? This is the kind of work many of our best companions came out of retirement for. Choose your own hours, work close to home, no clinical responsibility — just kind escort care.
Working for Comfort Keepers, Home Instead, Cura, Bluebird, Connected Health or similar — top up your hours with Here2Help work that complements your existing client roster.
Just qualified and looking for flexible work that uses your training? Here2Help gives you a structured way to build real-world experience while you decide your next step.
If you've completed clinical placements and you've got time around your final year, this is meaningful paid work that doesn't conflict with your studies. Most placements give you Garda vetting we can verify.
If you've cared for an elderly parent or partner long-term and you're between paid roles, you may already be exactly the kind of companion a family is looking for. Talk to us.
≈ 1.5-2 hours of your time. Customer pays €100, you keep €60 (60%).

Most Here2Help care-worker companions already work part-time or shift-based in another setting. They take 2-5 Here2Help bookings a week on days off, during quiet hours, between contracts, or alongside seasonal work. The platform is built around the assumption that you have other commitments — bookings are sent to your phone, you accept or pass, and we send the next one to someone else if you can't take it.
You can also pause your availability for weeks at a time without consequence — exam season, family event, a long holiday — we just stop sending you bookings until you switch yourself back on. No exclusivity, no notice period.
