About this app

At Curam we do things differently, we are a community that respects the value of care, where clients have choice and control, and carers can set their own rates and hours and are rewarded and respected for the work that they do.  

Choice 

Choose the hours you work and the right clients for you from the hundreds of new clients that are signing up to Curam each week all over the UK. Clients on Curam include private clients, local councils, care homes, NHS trusts and direct payment card holders.  

Cost  

We advertise your profile for free, there are no joining or subscription fees. You agree your rate with your client and our fees come out of this rate. As a self-employed carer on the Curam platform you received 85% of what your client pays. Carers on Curam are earning on average £16 per hour and over £950 a week for live-in care. 

Support 

Curam’s philosophy is to support carers wherever we can. We provide all approved carers with online training, NACAS membership and self-employed carer’s insurance providing they transact via the platform, and we encourage micro-teams for support of both the carer and their client. The team at Curam is also here to support our fantastic carers in using the platform and getting the best out of it. 

Security 

Curam have an in-built safety feature on the app which allows carers to add up to 5 trusted contacts. If activated in an emergency the carer’s trusted contacts are notified of their GPS location at the touch of a button. 
 
By downloading the Curam carer app you can sign up, complete your profile and become approved. You can then apply for jobs near you and get immediately notified of jobs posted near you. We look forward to welcoming you to our carer community
