Introductory or
self-employed
We can act as an introductory agency for self-employed live-in carers. The carers are fully trained and vetted care professionals who we have selected to give outstanding service
- Self-employed care professionals who have the skills to be successful carers, working closely with our clients and their families/ friends.
- Carefully selected carers. The carers have extensive references, police checks and rigorous interviews. Only 1% of applicants pass through.
- Trained to an outstanding degree on our Princess Royal Award-winning training course.
- Self-employed. They take care of their own tax and NI contributions.
- Christies Care makes sure that you are never without a carer.
- Used by about a third of Christies Care’s clients, especially towards the beginning of care, when things are relatively simple.
- When care gets too complex (e.g. the carer has to administer controlled drugs), you can move to the fully managed model.
- All carers are able to work either self-employed or fully managed, meaning that if you change the model of care you can keep your team of favourite carers.

Fully Managed
Choose this option if you want complete peace of mind. The Christies Care team manage the carers take responsibility as a fully regulated, CQC Outstanding care agency.
