What HFH offers?

• Typically, our client base requires ongoing care, 24 hours a day, and benefit 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 a duration of 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*.
• 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 for you 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.
