About the role
Home Carer — Leeds and West Yorkshire. Self-employed profit-share role, not a wage. You keep 35% of every visit KJ Carers routes to you. We manage the client relationships, care plans and rota; you pick the runs that fit your week. You'll cover personal care visits (30–60 minute slots) in customer homes: personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, hydration, light domestic support, companionship, and some double-up visits with a second carer where the care plan requires it. Runs are geographic clusters so you're not driving all day. Visits are dispatched via the KJ portal with the care plan, key-safe code, next-of-kin contact and any safeguarding notes. Ticket per visit is small (£16–£22 depending on complexity), but a well-planned 8-hour run of clustered visits stacks up — the calculator above shows what a booked week clears at 35%. Suits an experienced home carer or someone with the Care Certificate and a genuine calling for the work. Enhanced DBS mandatory. Not for anyone without transport in the runs — the geography demands it.

- Care Certificate (or willingness to complete before starting)

- Own transport suitable for clustered community rounds
- Right to work in the UK
- Public liability insurance (or willingness to arrange)
- Smartphone for the KJ portal
- Calm, patient, respectful manner with vulnerable adults

Do the work, get paid your share
Complete the job, mark it done in the portal. KJ invoices the customer. Your share lands on the regular payment cycle — no chasing, no unpaid quotes.

Why KJ, not a company job
A plumber does 3–4 jobs a day; a surveyor 2–4; a solicitor a handful of matters. The client pays hundreds — often thousands. You take home a fraction. The company keeps the rest.
