Elder is the UK's fastest growing live-in care agency and we need people like you to help us in our mission to reinvent what it means to age.
We believe that nobody should have to go into a care home unless they want to. 97% of people say they don't want to end up in a care home. That’s why we’re here to provide an alternative - bringing expert, 24/7 care directly to the homes elderly people across the UK. It means the elderly don't have to sacrifice their independence just because they need a little extra care.
That's where you come in. As part of our community, you'll do something truly life-changing while being rewarded for your efforts with pay of up to £865 a week. We have placements available across the UK and we cover your travel costs in full. On top of your weekly earnings, you'll have a comfortable place to stay, bonuses and car allowances on some placements, plus double pay on bank holidays. Apply today and see where an Elder placement could take you.
" "It’s a big change to get used to but, for us, it was a relatively easy one. I think this is because Mum’s carer, Rose, just gets her – so does the secondary carer who comes in from time to time – Esther. They genuinely feel part of the family now, I feel I can rely on them to look after Mum and make sure she’s happy. Rose has made a big effort to get to know Mum’s life and what makes her tick. It’s incredible how she’s really become part of the local community, just like Mum. She integrated really well and that comes down to the fact that whatever my mum does, Rose does too. They’re a bit of a dynamic duo together""Joanne’s story, Care that keeps Mum in her dancing shoes

"For my mum's carer Josephine, care is not just a job, but a calling. You can see that she really, really cares. From not wanting to have carers in the house, my mother now doesn’t like it when she isn’t there."

"In a nursing home you have about 30-40 residents to look after, and as such you don’t really have any meaningful relationship with them. I chose home care because of the relationships you can build. I give – and I get something valuable out of it too."
