A Better Way To Deliver Care

​

In our society, the value of carers can often be over looked.  Lots of carers work long hours for low pay delivering an overstretched service.  Ironically leaving them little time to actually build relationships and truly care for the people they support.  When people enter the care sector, they enter to help, but often leave for better jobs feeling frustrated with caring or actually the lack of caring. 

​

​

Here at the Professional Carers Network, we have found a way to deliver care that works.  A way to deliver care that meets not just the needs of people who need support, but fulfil their wishes too.  A way to build relationships and improve the quality of their life.

​

​

But crucially, a way for carers to feel truly valued too.  A way for carers to be able to enjoy their job and be well rewarded for doing an excellent job.  A way for carers to work the hours that suits their lifestyle and undertake tasks and activities that give them great satisfaction.  A way for the carer to finish every day knowing they truly have made a difference to someones life that day.   We believe that we have found the way to make care a career worth entering!​​​

Now Is The Perfect Time!

​

​

Sometimes when launching a business, you have to have the timing of an idea just right.  Well let me tell you, the timing for self employed caring is absolutely NOW!

​

There is currently a care crisis!  People are living longer, medical advances have been huge over the past years and people are having to use a care system that is still stuck in the old ways of delivering care.  The current care system is simply not designed to help this many people.  But equally peoples expectations and standards of care are also changing.  When people pay for a service, the customer expects top quality service and to be able to have a say in the way their care is delivered.  People do not want to be squished into a care package or shoved in a home.  They want to be able to control their own care in their own home and say who helps them with their needs, wishes and wants. 

​

This is why it is the absolute perfect time to become a self employed carer!  The self employed carer can tailor each care package to the individual, they can be flexible and can actually have time to build true relationships with the people they support.  Bringing real meaning to person centred care.

Being A Self Employed Carer Is Truly Rewarding!​

​

Yes we have talked about how the care can improve for your customers.  But what about you as the carer? This is where it gets really fun! 

​

So as a self employed carer you will be better rewarded for doing a job well done!  And it doesn't cost your care client any extra, they still pay the standard rates for care.  But because that care money doesn't have to filter into a massive organisation, you are able to pay yourself a decent wage.

​

Yes you need to put some away for tax, and we recommend hiring an accountant and of course joining the Professional Carers Network.  But even with those costs, it is still a fraction of what it would cost you to be an employee.  So yes, being a self employed carer is actually really good pay!  Which means you don't have to work every hour under the sun, it means you can have time to do the things that light you up, time to enjoy hobbies or spend time with your family.  But crucially it also means that the person who needs care gets a happy carer.  Not an overworked carer.  A carer that has the time and energy to truly deliver excellent care. 

​

You become your own boss, you work hours that suits your lifestyle, all your hard work goes into building your own reputation and it is actually really good fun! ​​​
