Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about using Caree for your care needs.
How much should I charge?
As a self employed carer you set your own rates. We do stipulate carers charge at least the minimal living wage for your area. The average hourly rate carers are charging on the platform is £15 (the platform fee of 11.5% is deducted from this, we have designed the platform to clearly show this when you select your hourly rate so you can set your fee according to your need). Note that £15 is average across the country, fees do vary based on location, experience and the type of care you are undertaking.
How do I get paid?
Most people choose to invoice weekly, we have however designed the platform to allow carers to invoice at intervals that meets their need. Some may choose to invoice monthly, while others may want to invoice more frequently. Simply go into your profile and select the shifts you want to invoice, you also have the option to add pre-agreed expenses you may have incurred here too. The invoice will then go over to the client, funds will typically reach your account within two days of the payment being made.
Care Support - Do I have to pay?
If the needs assessment identifies you need more support you will have a financial assessment to see if the council will pay towards the costs. You will NOT be entitled to help with care costs from your council if: • You have savings worth more than £23,250 • You own your own property (This only applies if your moving into a care home) If you do not want a financial assessment you can chose to pay all the costs yourself. If you would like more info on how the financial assessment works click on the link below to view more info on the NHS website. Financial assessment (means test) for social care - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
