Doing right by you, when you provide care occasionally
Many carers choose work through Elder because of its flexibility – choosing placements that fit around their family life, or further education.
We believe if you devote even a little of your time to caring for others, you deserve to be rewarded. And, if your circumstances change and you’d like to take on more placements and earn even more rewards, then you should be able to do that too.
