My LighthouseThe agency only introduces the carer to the client. The carer acts as self-employed, meaning they are not entitled to employee benefits e.g. holiday pay, sick pay, pension contributions.
Agency introduces carer to family. Carer and care plan is managed directly by the care agency with carer costs, benefits and agency fees invoiced as one.
You still pay your carer directly with My Lighthouse. We simply remove the agency commission and give you expert-led tools to hire safely yourself.
