Morning everyone,
I'm thinking of upping the caring my mum has per day to see if this can prolong her time in her own home for a while.
We use an agency which is expensive and to be honest some of the cares aren't great. There is someone who used to work for the agency but left to have a baby and she is lovely always seemed to be more caring and thoughtful to Mum.
I was thinking of keeping the agency on to a certain extent but asking this lady if she would be happy coming in for additional calls privately so many times a week.
The query is can I say to her that she would be self employed so responsible for all her tax etc. but then should I draw up some kind of contract?
And also do you think £12.00 an hour a good rate to offer her? I'm sure that's more than the agency pays her but I want to pay her a fair amount.
Advice please?!
