LocumCare — care when you need it most
Now serving Ontario

Healthcare staffing.On demand.

LocumCare connects patients and care homes with background-checked personal support workers and nurses across Ontario.

How it works

Three steps from posting to coverage.

  1. 01

    Post what you need

    Patients describe the care they need. Care home admins post open shifts. Role, time, and location — nothing clinical.

  2. 02

    Workers apply

    Background-checked personal support workers, registered practical nurses, and registered nurses nearby see your posting and apply.

  3. 03

    You pick. LocumCare handles the rest.

    Approve the worker you want. Payment routes through Stripe Connect — the poster pays LocumCare, and LocumCare pays the worker on a regular schedule.

Three sides

Patients, workers, care homes.

How it's built

The boring details that matter.

01

Background-checked workers

Every worker on LocumCare passes a criminal record check and a vulnerable sector check through Triton before they can claim a shift. Verification is a gate, not a badge.

02

A marketplace, not a provider

LocumCare connects independent healthcare workers with the patients and care homes who hire them. We are a technology platform — the care itself is provided by the workers.

03

Payments through Stripe Connect

The poster pays LocumCare; LocumCare pays the worker on a regular schedule. Stripe holds the financial details — we never see a card number or a bank account.

04

Privacy by design

Shifts and bookings do not capture clinical detail. Personal data is stored on Canadian infrastructure. PIPEDA applies; data minimization is the rule, not the exception.
