How do I begin to find my respite carer?

Taking the first step and knowing where to start can be a daunting thought, which is why consulting an agency that specialises in respite carers is essential to ensuring your search is stressfree. With an agency, you have access to expert, experienced advice. Agencies also take the hassle of finding someone out of your hands and make the process a seamless experience. With Guardian Carers, we interview and screen all our candidates and discuss with them in detail their experience and qualifications they have to ensure you are only presented with candidates that perfectly align with your needs. We are able to provide sample contracts and a payroll service once you have found your perfect elderly carer and our friendly and experienced consultants are always on hand to help with any questions or concerns during and after your search with us. With Guardian Carers, you can rest assured that from the first point of contact, you will always have our support if and when you need.

Support from the first call

Respite care agencies such as Guardian Carers take the hassle of resourcing potential respite carers from you and will only present you with the best of the best that we meet. The trust and security that you place in our hands is not something that we take lightly, this is why we have honed our vetting procedure down to a fine art to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. We bring them into the office for a face to face interview where their experience and qualifications are discussed at length and we are able to obtain verbal references which we then personally check ourselves.

All of our carers will have the following:

  • First Aid and Safeguarding qualification
  • Enhanced DBS check
  • At least 3 years of experience
  • Any language requirements can be accommodated

From the very first call, your consultant will guide you through what your options are, what would suit your requirements most closely and put your mind to rest with any concerns you might have. Our consultants are also on hand to help and answer any questions you might have along the way, using a respite care agency in London like Guardian Carers means you have a direct line to the experts.
