• Enhanced rates for weekends and bank holidays.

We are looking for Carers to support our client who is a quadriplegic living with anxiety. The most important attributes that we value in the successful carers are positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a warm and upbeat personality. Previous experience working with someone with anxiety would be advantageous.

What HFH offers

• Typically, our client base requires ongoing care, 24 hours a day, and benefits from the continuity of a small core team of regular care staff.
• Our specialist carers work with one client per shift and do not travel between multiple homes. The average shift is 12 hours.
• Where possible we will offer you work to meet your availability and, as a guide, the average carer works three shifts (36 hours) per week for us and earns £448 - £576 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 £23,296 - £29,952*.
• We employ all staff directly and manage all aspects of your pay via PAYE, rather than Limited Company or Self-employed status. This removes the need to employ third party companies or calculate your own tax. PAYE also protects you from breaching IR35 tax regulations.

*Please note: This depends on their shift pattern (days/nights/weekends), and these rates shown are inclusive of holiday pay, which is accumulated per hour worked.
