We charge just one, one-off set-up fee if you decide to go ahead (£180.00) and then you can choose between a daily administration fee of £23 per day for self-employed carers on 2-3 week rota or a one-off introduction fee for a single employee (4 x weekly salary)

We make it easy for you. We will provide all the information you should need to get started: terms and conditions, duties, guides etc

Did you know you may be entitled to £58 per week (approx) back from HMRC? Ask us for more information

We differ from most other agencies as we do not employ companions directly or take a percentage of their wages. With our help, support and guidance, you hire or employ your companion directly. It’s very easy - and the benefits to you speak for themselves.
For our companions:
-
We do not charge any agency fees or commission
