elder Careers and Employment

There is no uniform policy at Elder. This means that you are free to wear your own clothes when taking care of your client. We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes and practical clothing whilst caring for clients, such as shirts, tunics, knitwear, trousers and jeans.

Thank you for your question. Elder offers two types of placement – fixed-length and ongoing. Fixed-length (minimum of 7 days) A fixed-length placement is typically used for respite care or to cover a primary carer whilst they’re on a break. These placements vary in length, but there will always be a clear start and end date. Ongoing Carers on an ongoing placement will typically be considered the primary carer for the person they’re caring for. However, they differ from fixed-length placements as the carer returns to the same placement at regular intervals for the foreseeable future. Carers typically stay with their client in cycles of 4 to 10 weeks and then return after a break. When applying for ongoing placements, carers can state their preferred work schedule and will be able to arrange breaks once they’ve started. You’re responsible for managing your own time during the day, whilst always ensuring that the client’s needs are met. When planning the day ahead, we encourage you to organise some short breaks for yourself. You’re entitled to 2 hours of break time each day, and it often works best to split this time into smaller segments (e.g. four 30 minute breaks). You should always arrange breaks around the needs of your client. Unless specified otherwise in the care appraisal, your client should never be left unattended. Given this, it’s important to agree your breaks with the client and their family to ensure that someone is available to cover.

While live-in care means moving into a care receiver’s home for a set amount of time, it can be a flexible way of working too. You can create your own schedule – deciding when you want to take holidays and for how long, and choosing where you want to work in the UK through the Elder Hub platform.
