Free, on both sides.
Browsing, shortlisting, posting, messaging and connecting are all free for families. Care World never charges a carer to find work or to be found. The only thing a carer can buy from us is Library learning — a single course or the Library Pass — and nothing about a course changes where you appear or who sees you.

Care World never charges a carer to find work or to be found. The only thing a carer can buy from us is Library learning — a single course or the Library Pass — and nothing about a course changes where you appear or who sees you. Search order is neutral — Care World does not rank carers.
- Browse and search carers near you
- Shortlist the people who feel right
- Post what you need
- Where a check has been completed, the profile shows the check and the month it was completed — for example “Identity checked 03/2026” or “DBS received 03/2026”. Identity checks are carried out by Chronix Health Group.
- Message carers directly and decide
- Connecting is free — no pass, no subscription
- Never a fee for contact or a match
- Everything after is between you
Carers on Care World are independent and self-employed; what families pay carers is agreed directly between them and never goes through Care World. Prices are shown without VAT because no VAT is currently charged.
Free to start, and free to stay.
Browsing, shortlisting, posting, messaging and connecting are all free for families. Our other products are paid, and each is priced on its own site.
