Guidance for families and people arranging care

Caregiver Pay, Agency Fees and Placement Process

Caregiver pay is shaped by the working model, duties, location, experience, languages, nights and level of support. Compare the whole arrangement, not just a monthly figure.

01

What affects pay

Live-in or daytime work, days, hours, care complexity, number of children, nights, domestic duties, languages, driving, accommodation and travel.

02

Set a budget range

A realistic range reduces unsuitable interviews. Confirm exact pay, currency, pay day and overtime with the candidate.

03

Agency fees and commission

Any service fee should state amount, currency, date, payment method, cancellation or refund terms and the service covered.

04

Written agreement

Record duties, duration, time off, pay, trial, privacy, changes and notice. Obtain professional advice on employer obligations when needed.

05

Foreign workers

Immigration, right-to-work and sponsorship rules vary; check current official guidance before employment.

06

Our process

After the request and needs assessment, suitable profiles are reviewed, interviews arranged, terms recorded and placement follow-up managed in the CRM.
