SOCIAL CARE

Find and hire care workers online in hours

Curam is a tech platform connecting Direct Payment recipients with self-employed PAs, and it is tackling social care's fundamental problem - carers' low pay.

We are Curam, a tech platform connecting self-employed PAs with Direct Payment recipients who want to manage their own care.

We are tackling the fundamental problem in social care – carers' low pay. Using our technology, self-employed carers are properly rewarded for the great work they do as they set their own rates of pay as well as receiving lots of additional perks.

Curam ensures each PA is carefully vetted, DBS checked, insured and has access to free CPD training. We put care workers at the heart of the solution.

There are many benefits of using Curam:

• The client has choice and control over who is caring for them

• A PA can be found within hours

• We are creating local jobs for local people

• 85% of each care invoice goes to the PA

• Average rates charged fit within council/LA budgets (£16 per hour)

• Bespoke portal available for local authorities

• The tech is simple and easy to use and there are apps for both the client and PA

It's free to post a job and sign your clients up, there is no extra cost to councils to use the portal. Twenty seven local authorities are successfully using our platform across the UK.

Take a look at recent feedback we received from one of our clients, who said: ‘Faye is an outstanding carer. She is confident and so very caring. She is gentle and calm, and talks in a low and steady voice which is helpful for older people with hearing difficulties. Faye shows a genuine interest in the lives of her clients. She treated my mum with total respect and I highly recommend her. Thank you Faye.'

Still unsure? Why not take a look at our Trustpilot page. With more than 270 five star reviews on Trustpilot, thousands of clients are already enjoying the benefits of using Curam.

  • We'll be at the LGA conference in Bournemouth from 4-6 July 2023. Please come to see us on stand P7 or book an appointment by sending an email to ben@curamcare.com. Alternatively take a look at our website: www.curamcare.com
