How can I find the right Social Carer?

Here are 5 ways you can find and hire the right Like Family Carer for your needs.

1. Post an Activity

An Activity is like a job ad. It tells Carers what type of support you need and how often. Whenever you post an Activity on Like Family, we'll notify suitable Social Carers in your local area. If they think they'll be a good match, they'll reach out and apply to support you!

2. Search Social Carers in your area

Have you checked out our Social Carer search page? It's a great way to view all the Social Carers in your local area. You can filter Carers by language, qualifications, age, and even interests! Make sure to message anyone who you think would be a good fit.

3. Arrange a free Meet and Greet

We offer 5 free Meet and Greets so you can check if a Carer will be a good match for your needs. This is particularly handy if you're looking for ongoing support. You can meet Carers in person, over the phone or via a video call. You can talk about the days and times you need support, your likes and dislikes, and how to manage extra expenses.

4. Contact our Customer Care team
