Curam gives clients who want to self-manage choice and control over who provides their care. Our technology allows you to connect with PAs/Care Professionals in minutes.

Our Care Professionals come with an average of 10years experience in the sector, qualifications, and certificates. Our platform is great for arranging regular care as well as respite care, last minute care for supporting hospital discharge or covering a current PAs annual leave/sickness. Care has been arranged and delivered in as little as 30minutes from sign up to the Care Professional being there to help.

Curam gives PAs/Care Professionals choice and control over who they are working for, and they are also well rewarded for the excellent service they provide, earning 85% of what is charged. Curam has a very thorough vetting process for the approval of PAs/Care Professionals to operate on the platform. All invoicing and payments are made via the platform and all shifts are insured.

Curam is working with direct payment recipients in 100 different local authority areas, as well as self-funded clients and those in receipt of NHS funding. Hourly, overnight, short notice and live-in care are available on Curam. Service users can search using the filter options, allowing you to find a PA/Care Professional with the specific expertise you require, for example, Dementia experience or someone who is trained and competent in Epilepsy management.

If you’d like find a Care Professional near you just head to our website or download our app. You can browse their profiles or post your care requirements completely free of charge.

Our users say

This is the third time that we have had our well-being weekends supported by Curam Carers. The app is easy to navigate and the ability to communicate with carers before events is supportive to all. Posting jobs online has yielded excellent responses and the carers engaged have performed above expectations. Both ourselves and Carers are reassuringly well supported by Curam HQ staff.'

'Curam has been an excellent resource for finding carers for my mother-in-law. Their staff are checked, insured and their website makes it easy to search for suitable staff. Being able to message or talk to carers directly was invaluable in finding the right person.'
