  • Our specialist carers work with one client per shift and do not travel between multiple homes. The average shift is duration 12hrs.

  • Where possible we will offer you work to meet your availability and as a guide, the average carer works three shifts (36hrs) per week for us and earns £500 555 p/wk*.

  • The regular working patterns that our clients require mean this three day a week work pattern equates to an average annual income of between £26,200 £28,950*.
