How to Find the Perfect Self-Employed Carer (and Make It a Great Experience!)
Finding the right carer for yourself or a loved one is an important decision. Working with a self-employed/independent carer can offer incredible benefits – flexibility, consistency, and truly personalised care. However, it’s essential to take the right steps to ensure a safe, successful experience.
Here, we’ve put together some practical tips to guide you through the process. Choosing a self-employed carer doesn’t have to feel like a formal process – it’s more like finding a fabulous friend to support you or your loved one.
Your peace of mind matters, and with the right preparation, you can create a caring partnership that truly works for everyone involved.
Here’s how to make sure it’s smooth, safe, and successful ↓
Get clear on the kind of help you’re looking for. Is it personal care, companionship, or both? Is help needed around meals times, getting up, going to bed? Are you looking for help everyday or would just a few days be great? Have an idea of what you think you need. Jot it down – it’s like making a wish list for the perfect match! But don’t worry if you are unsure, the carer can take you through suggestions as to what might work too.
Ask about their training, qualifications, and experience. A great carer won’t mind sharing their expertise – or showing off a glowing reference or two! Remember experience and life skills often beat qualifications when it comes to care. And it’s always worth asking if they can make a good cup of tea!?
A DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is your safety net, showing they’re cleared to work in care. It’s a must-have for peace of mind.
A good conversation works wonders! Meet up (or have a video call) to get a feel for their personality, approach, and whether they’re someone you or your loved one could connect with.
All our members of the Professional Carers Network are automatically insured with Gold Standard insurance so you can have peace of mind that if insurance was ever needed, you would all be covered.
Create a plan together – hours, tasks, boundaries, and payment terms. The clearer things are upfront, the smoother things will go!
Think of it as a trial run. A short-term arrangement helps you both settle in and see if it’s the right fit. Our members will always works flexibly to find the best solution to help their clients.
Regular chats to check in and adjust the plan keep things running like clockwork. Great care partnerships thrive on communication! Our go to communication method is a WhatsApp group with all who is involved in the care, or if you don’t like tech, a good old notebook updated with the latest goings on works wonders too.
Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t settle – there’s someone out there who’s just the right fit for you.
