We know that being a self-employed carer means juggling more than just care. That's why The Care App handles the admin, from client matching and booking management to secure payments and scheduling, so you can focus entirely on delivering your great care. We take care of the platform, the process and the paperwork. You just show up and do what you do best.
Easily manage your clients & appointments
View booking requests, update your availability, track your earnings and respond to clients. All from one simple dashboard designed just for you, so you can keep your working day running smoothly.
Great care deserves great support.
Up and running in three steps
Joining The Care App is straightforward. Complete your registration, start receiving booking requests from families in your area, attend your care bookings.
Complete our safety & emergency awareness process
Register & get CQF verified
Complete our optional Care Quality Framework (CQF) process, our exclusive platform standard designed to strengthen trust and safety. Alongside your DBS, identity and right-to-work checks, you’ll complete our process, covering safeguarding awareness, escalation protocols and professionalism. Once completed, you’ll earn your CQF badge and families can connect with you with confidence.
Helping you take control of your schedule, payments & clients
Whether you're just starting out or already established, our model gives you the tools to grow your client base, manage your time and get paid, all without the hassle of doing it alone.
Get found by clients
Once your profile is live, you'll be visible to families searching for carers in your area. Your profile showcases your experience, availability and verified status, making it easy for the right clients to find and choose you.
Set a schedule and hours that suit you
You're in control of when you work. Set your availability, update it whenever things change, and only accept bookings that fit your schedule. No agency dictating your hours, just you, working on your terms.
Work locally & set your own travel limit
Set how far you're willing to travel and we'll make sure you only appear in searches within that range. Keep your work local, reduce commutes and focus your energy on clients who are convenient for you.
Complete autonomy & regular payments
Set your own rates and get paid securely through the platform. No chasing invoices, no admin, just transparent, reliable payments processed directly to you, so you can focus on delivering great care.
What our registered carers say
Hear what some of the care app carers have to say
I love that I can finally set my own schedule around my family’s needs. Working with local clients means I spend less time commuting and more time providing quality care. It’s the perfect balance of professional fulfilment and personal freedom in a job that I love.

Having clients book me directly, has made my bookings so much easier to manage. The support team is always there if I have questions, I have even spoken to the founder when I joined! It feels great to be part of a community that truly values independent carers.

Common questions from carers
How do I register?
Simple as 1,2,3. You click register, you submit your documents, you get verified.
What information do I need to provide?
We require ID documents, DBS documents and any care certifications
Do I set my own rate?
You set your own rates, no agency or industry pressures. We respect all carers time, that's why we allow all carers to set a daytime rate, and evening & overnight rate should they wish to do so.
When do I get paid?
Payments are made once a care job is complete. We will ensure funds are received prior to your booking, so that you do not need to chase up payments and you can attend your bookings with peace of mind.
Do I need to pay a subscription to be a listed carer?
No, we do not charge any subscription fees. We simply take a small 10% commission on booking.
