Find a carer in Dorset, and pay them properly.
Tell us what help you need. We share it with self-employed carers near you, and tell you who says yes and what each one charges. If more than one does, you choose who to talk to. You arrange it directly with that carer, and more of what you pay reaches the person doing the caring.
Where we are starting.
Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Weymouth, Ferndown, Dorchester, Wimborne, Bridport and the areas around them. We share your request with carers in your postcode area, so the people you hear about live nearby.
You deal with the carer, not an agency
The person who visits is the person you agree the arrangement with. No rota changes you did not ask for, no different face every week.
You see the rate before you commit
Self-employed carers in Dorset charge from £15.00, £19.64 an hour on average. An agency care worker here earns about £12.98, whatever the family pays. Pay by card through Selotape and we add a 6% service fee, never more than £60 a month per client.
Checks are done and kept current
Every carer we introduce has an enhanced DBS check and public liability insurance, and we track the renewal dates so nothing quietly lapses.
Tell us what you need.
A few details is enough to start. Nothing is shared with a carer until we have looked at it ourselves.
Being straight with you: Selotape is new, and we are building up carers in Dorset now. If nobody near you has said yes within three days, we will tell you so rather than keep you waiting, and keep your request open. If you are a carer rather than a family, start here instead.
