Social services pay out just over £12 per hour to care company's providing care in the community for the elderly in the Wirral

Joe Blogs can I work for you??

If experience if preferred therefore not necessary, what training and how much training is provided. Also what is the mileage allowance please?

It`s ANGELS Care and not Angles, Cheers.

More questions :

Does the care worker get paid for the time spent on the road, or just for the time spent in capacity of care worker?
Does the person receiving the care also pay for the service and are they charged on an hourly rate or part of ?
Do Social Services pay the £12 hourly rate for 24 hour's care for each patient, or for the total amount of time the patient receives care?

The reason I ask is because as a council tax payer on a pension, I just wonder where my council tax ends up. I hope it's not being used for 24 hour care on a patient who receives only 1-2 hours care per every 24hours, because I could do with some of that too !
Maybe it's in anticipation of all the dementia sufferers who shall be cared for in their homes ? Ha Ha! In that case the staff need training in 'dementia care'.


Nobody could run a business suitably on £12 per hour for each patient and give £7.00 plus mileage to all their 24 hour care employees. plus N.I stamp and Pension payments.

please don't shoot the messenger

If things are tough then a job is a job.
If the rates are wrong then they wont hold onto there staff.

Pay starts at £7.00
What is paid for mileage is a fair question.

Granny,
that's a great new topic you could start in Ask wikiwirral forum.

Mileage is paid at 20p per mile, you can claim a refund in tax for up to 45p per mile plus cleaning uniforms etc. from the tax man at end of each tax year.
All customers are means tested by social services, if they can afford to pay for there own care they do so. If customers need 24 hour care they do not usually live alone or they live in care or nursing homes. Caring is a hard low paid job and only suitable for people who love this type of work. I've been doing it for 20 years.

Training is in house and work based, also working towards gaining a Diploma in Health and Social Care.
