Why Choose Smile Care Agency?
At Smile Care Agency, we empower you to take charge of your career in care, offering unparalleled flexibility and earning potential.
Exceptional Earning Opportunities
You'll earn significantly more with us. While the average agency carer wage is around minimum wage per hour (Kings Fund report 2024), our Care Professionals typically earn £20 per hour. You have the power to set your own rates, with common charges including £15.00 per hour, £80 per night, and £800 or more for weekly live-in care, depending on your expertise. What you see is largely what you get; you'll enjoy excellent take-home pay after our minimal fees, often exceeding traditional agency salaries.
Ultimate Flexibility & Control
Say goodbye to rigid schedules. With us, you get total flexibility to define your working life. Choose your preferred hours, set your own rates, and handpick your clients and services. This means your work fits seamlessly into your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Support & Resources
We're committed to your growth and peace of mind. Gain free access to a diverse range of online care training courses through our reputable partners, helping you continually enhance your skills. There's no joining fee to sign up, and we'll promote your profile at no cost. Plus, you'll benefit from cheap Care Professional insurance with our Partner and a secure payment system, removing the typical stresses of self-employment. While independent, you're also part of a community; you can build your own 'relief team' with other Care Professionals for mutual support, holiday cover, and emergencies.
