After each care session you need to complete a short form on the website. It’s a bit like this….

We'll change your form once you get started to make it as easy and quick as possible for you.

Give it a try... (This is a practise form not the real form for care reporting. That's on the client page which we’ll share with you).


How the payment works...

Payments will be on a Monday afternoon, each week. 1 week in arrears.

Click picture for invoice guide:

You need to send an invoice with hours worked at the end of each week. It’s all set up on a page for you. Click the button, put hours in, press send. Get paid 1 week later.


We’ll set up insurance for you or you can do it yourself here if you wish.

Sure Wise Insurance

Or here at Simply Business for around £60-70/ year with £25 voucher back if you use this button...

CareChooser's values: 

Everyone at CareChooser should be warm and caring and want to make a real difference

 
 

At CareChooser we believe building positive relationships are the key 🔑 to great care. This video by the Open University and the video on Dale Carnegie's book has great tips on how to build great relationships. 

1. Be positive 😀 👍

2. Be empathic/understanding 💫

3. Be real and genuine 👍

What is empathy?

At CareChooser we do empathy rather than sympathy. 

We do EMPATHY 👈 💫 ... but what is it? This bear explains empathy.

Most care companies do 'Person-centred Care 👉🚶🏻‍♀️' (You can watch the video on person-centred care below) We prefer FAMILY centred care or EVERYONE centred care. 

Person-centred care means we need to think about what the person being cared for likes and dislikes, what they need and how they feel. 

BUT... At CareChooser we prefer family-centred care, this means as well as thinking about the person being cared for it's also very important, quite often MORE important to also think about the family members. What do they need? What do they want? Focus on them too.

It's a difficult time and situation for them too. 

Ask how they are? 

What is person-centred Care? Remember FAMILY or EVERYONE centred care is even better, that's what makes GREAT care.
