I'm seeking to employ a personal assistant (carer), but I feel hugely overwhelmed by the process.
Anxiety of contracts, sick pay, holiday pay, pension etc
That's without interviews and someone caring for me that I don't know. I had 3 emails yesterday from prospective applicants, and even that felt overwhelming and panic inducing.
I'm considering employing someone I know. But that still involves contracts.
Has anyone experienced this, and how have you managed the process?
I feel panicked now.
I suggest that you seek advice from Citizens Advice.
You could also contact one of the many care agencies to see how much they charge for care - then they do all the paperwork.
What is suitable and by which means will depend upon what sort of 'care' you require.
All the best.
Thank you x
