The right grade for every shift
Every shift you post is matched by grade, so only professionals who hold that grade can see it or accept it.
Health Care Assistants
Personal care, moving and handling, meals, continence and the everyday support that keeps a shift running.
Senior Care Assistants
Experienced carers who lead the care team and give medication with assessed competency.
Support workers
For supported living, learning disability and mental health services — booked as HCA, or SCA where medication is involved.
Registered nurses
NMC-checked nurses for nursing homes and nursing units. See our nursing agency in Bristol.
Temporary cover for every kind of gap
Some gaps arrive with a 6 a.m. phone call; others you can see coming for weeks. We cover both.
Shifts can be 6, 8 or 12 hours, depending on what your service needs, and you book one shift at a time.

Vetted before they can accept a shift
If a healthcare professional isn't eligible, they can't be booked. The platform enforces it, so you don't have to chase paperwork.

The same faces, shift after shift
Temporary doesn't have to mean a stranger every time.
When a carer or support worker fits in well, rebook them. They already know your residents, your routines and your building — one less induction for your team, and a familiar face for the people you support. For residents living with dementia, that familiarity matters most of all.
“A familiar face is part of the care.”
Why rebook is built into every provider accountQuestions about temporary care staff in Bristol
What temporary care staff do you supply in Bristol?
Health Care Assistants (HCAs), Senior Care Assistants (SCAs) and registered nurses (RGNs), plus support workers for supported living, who are booked as HCA or SCA. Every shift is matched by grade.
Do you supply support workers for supported living?
Yes. We supply support workers for supported living, learning disability and mental health services. In the platform you book them as HCA, or as SCA where the role includes giving medication.
How long are the shifts?
Shifts can be 6, 8 or 12 hours, depending on what your service needs. You book one shift at a time, with no set-up fees — you pay per shift covered.
Can we have the same staff again?
Yes. Rebook lets you invite a carer, support worker or nurse who has worked with you straight back to the same site, in one tap.
Are your staff DBS-checked and trained?
Yes. Every healthcare professional holds a current enhanced DBS check, verified right to work, references and in-date mandatory training before they can be booked, and an expired document blocks new bookings automatically.

Request staff and we'll set up your provider account. Once your account is approved, you can post shifts from the provider portal at any time.
