For commissioners
Keep your providers staffed and your care stable.
We Are Care supplies pre-vetted, ethically-employed carers across the care you commission. Built for retention and continuity, so the providers in your area hold their staffing, quality and CQC ratings.
Our delivery
Requests filled on or before start time. Rolling 12 months. Excludes provider-cancelled bookings and requests made less than 1 hour before start.
Every carer we place — temp or permanent — is fully checked before they start: DBS, Right-to-Work and mandatory training verified. For providers in your area, we also monitor compliance on shift and flag gaps before they become issues.
Carers who return for repeat shifts, the continuity that protects the people being cared for.
Every carer we employ is paid fairly: transparent rates, no hidden fees, paid directly, with pension, holiday and sick pay where applicable.
Typical retention uplift for providers in your area who work with us, within three to six months.
Client voices
What this looks like in practice.
We partnered with We Are Care, driven by our need to provide consistent continuity of care for people we support with complex learning and mental health needs. We Are Care has maintained a near 100% shift fulfilment rate, providing the reliability we needed. A relationship with a provider who can scale alongside us as we execute our ambitious growth strategy. Louise Orr · Dignus
What this means for you
Care staffing, shaped around commissioning.
We Are Care is built for commissioner-grade care staffing, with retention, evidence and worker protections built into the model.
Staffing stability
Carers who stay across the care you commission.
A consolidated carer pool serving multiple settings in your area, with consistent carers, standards and fair pay across every shift. Retention is built into the model: carers stay because they're paid fairly, employed directly, supported properly.
Audit-ready evidence
Pre-vetted carers, traceable from day one.
DBS, right-to-work, references and training all verified by We Are Care before a carer reaches a setting in your area. Every carer we supply, traceable back to verification date and document checks. Audit-ready format on request: by setting, by region, by period. Compliance records, audit trails, and staffing data all run through Baton and are available on request.
Worker protections
Direct employment, full worker protections.
We Are Care employs carers directly: transparent pay, holiday pay, sick pay, no hidden fees, no margins taken out of the carer. Carers we place stay directly employed until they move into a permanent role with the provider. That's why our carers stay. It's also why our supply chain holds up under scrutiny.
