If you want to become a self-employed carer, you may register as a carer on the Private Care Dorchester platform by going through our application process and completing your profile. The government has a guide to becoming a self-employed carer and registering as one. You can now apply for a Unique Tax Reference (UTR) number here. After you’ve received this number and been approved onto our platform, you may start looking for self-employed carer jobs.
It is necessary to have some prior experience as a PCD caregiver. However, if you wish to have live-in positions when being introduced as a PCD carer, you must have at least two years of expertise.
As self-employed carers, you set your own rates. Essentially you are a sole trader, your own boss, so you set how much you want to earn as a private carer.
PCD is an online network for self-employed carers. We’ve used technology to provide you with choice and control over who you care for and the hours you work.
We are a platform for self-employed carers, so we have far fewer expenses and can pass the savings on to you as PCD caregivers. Generally speaking, the rates charged by our self employed Carers are lower than that of a normal care agency and the amount our self employed Carers take home is higher than employed domiciliary Carers.
Yes – in order to utilize our platform, it’s a legal requirement that you must first become a self-employed caregiver and register as a sole trader, LLP, or a limited company.
Clients are not required to reimburse your travel costs, although you may choose to ask them if they would be willing to pay for your travel and discuss this topic directly with them. Self employed Carers on the platform generally include their travel costs into their hourly rate.
