Join the thousands of self-employed Care Assistants finding rewarding care work through Elder’s award-winning online platform.
Elder is launching visiting care in the Manchester area. We’re looking for self-employed healthcare professionals to join our platform in providing one-to-one support to older people choosing to remain in the comfort of their own home instead of going into a care home.
Care recipients are likely to not yet need or want round-the-clock support so hours may be flexible throughout the day depending on the placement. Your dedicated assistance will help them to stay in control and remain independent for as long as possible and you’ll have plenty of time to provide meaningful support and form real connections.
Providing personalised care and support through one-off or regular weekly visits, you’ll work directly with the customer to create a schedule everyone is happy with – meaning caring with Elder can fit around your friends, family and hobbies. Care recipients will all require different levels of care from companionship to providing general daily care and support through to assisting individuals who are in the early stages of dementia.
Daily responsibilities will vary depending but may include:
- Personal care
- Medication reminders
- Welfare checks
- Food shopping
- Meal preparation
- Mobility support
- Companionship
- Light gardening
- Light housework
- Pet care (optional)
Benefits:
- Choose your own rate between £16.00 to £20.00 per hour
- Work flexible hours - apply for placements that fit around your personal life and commitments.
- Work with as many or as few clients as you’d like
- Get access to the award-winning ElderHub app, and take control of self-employed care work directly from your phone.
- Receive dedicated support from the Elder HQ team, and the in-app newsfeed and help centre.
Requirements:
- Be able to work independently (with no manager supervision) in the care recipient's home
- Have at least 6 months professional care experience
- The ability to pass a background check (enhanced DBS in England and Wales, or a PVG in Scotland)
- The ability to provide 2 professional references that Elder can verify
- A good level of spoken English and the right to work in the UK
