How the business works
At Hub Care Support we provide a personal introduction service to those looking for care services.
We source high quality, independent Personal Assistants and support them to remain secure and comfortable as their own boss.
The service user then has the opportunity to choose their Personal Assistant and arrange the finer details of their care. The Hub then take a small percentage of the Personal Assistant’s fee in order to keep supporting service users and PAs in the future.
What Makes Us Different?
We’re not a care agency. This means we do things a little differently.
Unlike many agencies, this is not a 24/7 job. You will never be responsible for covering care or having to fill hours. That side of things is all down to your PA’s and their individual agreements with their client, the service user.
Every decision we make at The Hub comes from our passion for delivering a high-quality service to our service users or Personal Assistants.
The level of commitment to our PAs is demonstrated by the support initiatives we have in place, from accounting support to advocacy services; we believe happy PAs = better care!
Personal Assistants are not required to be CQC registered, however it’s imperative to us to ensure a certain level of standards are upheld. That’s why we have partnered with QCAS: the Quality Care Approval Scheme; a social enterprise designed to raise and maintain standards within the care sector.
QCAS is open to all independent carers, but service users can be confident that every Hub PA is QCAS approved.
Our Customers and the Demand For Care
The UK home care market is estimated to be around £52m with over 300m hours dedicated to delivering home-based care.
We’ve seen a wide range of social factors cause an increase in older people wanting to stay living in their own home vs moving into residential care. With the population of the over 60’s age group increasing, dementia rates rising and an emphasis on sustaining a positive quality-of-life, the demand for care has never been greater – providing many potential service users.
On top of this, Hub Care Support’s service users are not limited to the elderly. Many of our Personal Assistants support younger people who may need companionship or support with their daily routines.
Support from Hub PAs may include:
Domestic Tasks
Cleaning, vacuuming, dusting, laundry etc.
Personal Care Tasks
Support with washing, dressing, bathing
Meal preparation tasks
Prepare meals, assist to eat and drink
Social interaction
Helping to maintain relationships in the home or in the community
Shopping

Companionship
Care is more than the essentials, companionship is so important
