Who sets the rates for Utmost Carers’ pay?

  • The carers set their own rates according to factors such as experience and qualifications. You, as a client, have the possibility to negotiate rates with carers individually if desired.

    The average rate on our platform is £15 per hour, with more experienced carers charging more and less qualified carers charging less.

    We have set the minimum rate on our platform to be in line with the London Living Wage. The minimum that carers can charge per hour is therefore equal to £13.80 (with our 11.5% fee and VAT taken into account) for 2020/21.
