Care Worker Recruitment and Retention

This is the single biggest challenge faced by care companies in the UK. Care workers regularly leave their jobs citing a feeling of being overworked and undervalued. Frustrations around the levels of support they can actually offer their clients in short 15, 20 and 30-minute visits are compounded by a social perception that care is somehow a less than worthy vocation. The industry standard is to pay carers minimum wage for what is, arguably, one of the most important services in our society.

Being carer-centric

At Visiting Angels, we directly tackle these problems by being carer-centric. What does that mean? It’s simple really. It means that we’re committed to treating our carers with respect, valuing them for their commitment and rewarding them for the fantastic support that they provide to our clients.

We believe that, by treating our carers well, they are empowered to deliver an exceptional service with genuine care. Our approach sees us start from the core of the company and work outwards – placing carers at the epicentre of our success.

Our Mission is To lead the UK care sector as an Employer of Choice by 2030, creating an environment where our carers can care more, clients can live better and families can feel assured.

To redefine the role of carers in society and by so doing deliver a new standard of person centred care.

We proudly uphold our carer-centric stance by:

• Industry Leading Pay rates
• Paying our caregivers mileage, travel time pay & Holiday Pay
• Enrolling all of our caregivers in our company pension scheme
• Loyalty bonus for length of service
• Guaranteed pay increases each year
