Talk. Connect. Thrive
Flexible, meaningful work that makes a difference.
What is a Matron
Matrons are at the heart of Sacana, trusted, compassionate people who offer structured, stigma-free conversation and connection to those who need it most. This isn't care work in the traditional sense. It's not clinical. It's not counselling. It's real conversation, a chance to be present, to listen, to hold space, and to brighten someone's day.

What checks are required?
Because you'll be talking to adults who may be vulnerable or isolated, we take safety seriously. All Matrons must:
  1. Provide proof of ID and UK right to work
  2. Undergo an Enhanced DBS, PVG or AccessNI check depending on where you live
  3. Provide two references (ideally one from a community or people-facing role)
We'll organise the criminal records check for you.
Who can become a Matron?
  1. You'll be self-employed, choosing your own hours
  2. You'll be paid a set hourly rate for each structured conversation you host
  3. All sessions happen over video using Sacana's secure platform
  4. You'll be fully supported by our safeguarding and quality team
Whether you have 5 hours or 50, you can make a difference, flexibly, from home.

I’ve worked in care for years — but this is different. You’re not fixing things. You’re just there. And that presence changes people.
