Care World · an introducer, not an agency

Care, chosen by you.

Care World helps families and independent, self-employed carers find each other. You browse real profiles, talk directly, and agree the care together — no agency in the middle, and carers keep 100% of what you agree.

How it works

You post, you browse, you decide.

Care World introduces; you choose. Every step is yours to take, at your own pace.

Post what you need

Describe the care, the schedule, and the rate you have in mind. It’s your posting, in your words — and it’s free.

Browse carers

Read profiles carers wrote themselves — experience, rate, availability, and background checks marked “Checked by partner”.

Connect directly

A connection opens a private line to the people you shortlist. Message, meet, ask anything. There is no ranking and no score — just your judgement.

Agree together

When you’ve found the right person, you agree the arrangement directly with each other.

Care World vs a traditional agency

A different way to arrange care.

Both routes have their place. Here is how they differ, plainly.

Care World

Traditional agency

The rate

Set by the carer; agreed directly between you. Carers keep 100%.

Set by the agency, which takes a margin between what you pay and what the carer receives.

Choosing a carer

You browse, talk to carers directly, and choose for yourself.

The agency typically selects and assigns a carer for you.

Arranging care

You and the carer agree the schedule and the arrangement directly.

The agency schedules and manages the arrangement.

Employment

Carers are independent and self-employed, working for themselves.

Carers are usually employed or engaged by the agency.

Regulation

Care World is an introducer. It does not provide or manage care, and is not a CQC-registered provider.

Agencies providing regulated activities in England are registered with and inspected by the CQC.

Chronicus

Care World’s in-product assistant can help you draft a posting or tidy your carer profile. It never chooses, ranks, or recommends carers — those decisions are always yours.
