Connecting families with respite support in the Highlands

RespiteConnect is building a community-focused network across the Highlands. It aims to connect families and carers with trusted independent providers of respite and companionship support. We do not employ providers or deliver regulated care services, we help families find local, reliable support.
Whether you’re looking for support or interested in offering it, we’d love to hear from you.

For families and carers
Finding the right support can be difficult.
Respite and companionship support includes:

  • Meaningful social companionship tailored to your loved one’s interests
  • Flexible respite cover so carers can take a break when needed
  • Safe community outings for activities and engagement
  • Reliable support giving families peace of mind

Register your interest and tell us what you’re looking for.


For providers
There is growing need across the Highlands for compassionate, reliable people who can offer respite and companionship support.
Providers set their own rates. The rates are typically £15–£25 per hour depending on experience and type of support. They enjoy flexible, meaningful local work.
