Find a carer
In 2016, our Founder Ian Rajan was in desperate need of a trusted carer for his Aunt Julie. Her reluctance to receive care only added to the time pressure he faced whilst also working and with his own family, not to mention several hours of travel each way to help her. What they needed was a professional, reliable carer that they could choose and with the personality to cope with a formidable woman. Aunt Julie was a retired Matron of 30 years at Greenwich Hospital and did not cope well with lateness, different faces coming in and in her mind, incompetence. The right carer would also be his eyes and ears and become a part of the family. He wanted to visit as her nephew, rather than her crisis support or sole carer.
With over 1000 seakr care professionals in our community across England, Scotland and Wales, we will match you with a culturally and personality appropriate seakr carer from our short list of hand picked local, vetted, trained and insured carers that work together for you. They provide visiting day and night time care as well as 24/7 live in care on your terms. Your carers, always there when you need them.

They are also choosing you. Our proven introduction process has resulted in a client-carer match success rate of over 90% over the past five years.

Estimated care costs
Our care introduction service to seakr self employed carers are completely free of charge to you as a client, with no one-off or endless recurring finders fees to be paid. Instead, we simply charge our carers a small administration fee for weekly invoicing and payment collection from you, on their behalf. There is no fee for our carers to pay in joining our community or in between clients. We remain involved behind the scenes for as long as your seakr carer is there for you. You can reach us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with any queries at all. Each carer in our community sets their own rates. Here are some guidelines to help you.
- Day time visits (1 hour minimum) from £18.00 per hour
- Night time care from £18.00 per hour
- Weekly live-in care from £160.00 per 24 hours
These rates are fully inclusive and vary from carer to carer. They include your carer’s contribution towards care seakr’s costs for invoicing and collecting payment from you, as well as providing them with support through our community.
The difference
As a care introduction agency, you are able to choose the actual carer(s) that will be visiting or providing live in care to yourself or your loved ones. You can be confident that we guarantee to find you appropriate carer cover should they for any reason, not be able to attend. Care seakr gives you the best of both worlds, the quality of care you need with the assurance of consistent delivery.
