If you’re new to a company like Elder, you may be confused about what our ‘introductory’ status means for you. In the simplest terms, we’re here to give you the tools you need to find your care clients. This means –
It’s easier to find the right opportunities
There’s no need to ring round agencies or advertise online. With Elder you can browse and apply for suitable opportunities with ease. Each listing includes the number of hours or days required, the location and detailed care information from the family.
You can access the right information
Going into your placement, we’ll ensure you have all the information you need, and with our in-app chat feature you can easily talk to the family and the Elder team to ask any questions and get to know your clients before you arrive.
You're free to do your job
The care agreement is between you and the family, there’s no care manager directing how you should care for your client. You’re free to work together with the family - calling on your skills and experience to provide truly person-centred care.
