We Are Care, founded on the principles of purpose before profit and prosperity for all, is attracting significant interest within the healthcare worker community – across all roles and grades - and is building its team daily. In a sector well renowned for pay rates not reflective of the value and contribution of healthcare workers, We Are Care is committed to paying its team above the Real Living Wage. Additionally, all its team receives incremental/milestone bonus payments throughout the year.
For care providers and partners, We Are Care ensures rates are fair for all. The company is astutely aware of the financial pressures across the provider sector and is confident that it can significantly reduce existing agency spend, without compromising on quality, offering a fully compliant and accredited workforce committed to excellence in care delivery.
Joel Dawson, co-founder at We Are Care comments: "We Are Care is a new company, but founded by individuals with significant experience in the care sector. Care worker pay should reflect what carers actually do. Currently it does not. By building a loyal, well-rewarded team, we ensure consistent standards and continuity of care that ultimately benefits those who need it most.
For too long, the relationships between agencies, providers and carers have been transactional. A partnership approach is better for workers, providers, and the people they care for. And, based on initial feedback from both workers and providers, the care agency sector is ripe for change. Carers should be paid fairly, while recognising the financial constraints many providers face."
