Nexus Care Services leads the way with transformative contracted hours for carers

Nexus Care Services is leading the way in the care industry by introducing a new employment model that promises to transform the care sector.

Moving away from the industry-standard zero-hour contracts, Nexus’ new contracted hours offer carers unprecedented legal protection and financial security and a suite of competitive benefits – setting a new standard for employment in care.

Recognising the challenges carers face, Nexus has developed a full-time contract that provides a guaranteed 40-hour work week over 5 days, with rota’s completed 14 days in advance ensuring security and stability for their team.

The new contract also provides a compensation package among the best in the market to reflect the skills and knowledge of our team. This includes a market-leading salary of £26,000 per year and a unique car allowance of £2,000 per annum.

By announcing schedules two weeks in advance, Nexus ensures that carers can enjoy greater stability and plan their personal lives more effectively around work.

Tinga Umera, Managing Director at Nexus Care Services, said: “The current preference for zero-hours contracts in our industry provides flexibility to carers, but also creates a great deal of uncertainty.

“Similarly, for those receiving care services, our new approach to care ensures that they have stability and a closer relationship with our care team.

“Whilst our approach certainly isn’t radical for most sectors, for the care industry we believe it changes the general status quo and ultimately ensures that our team can enjoy many benefits.”

Nexus is committed to the well-being of its staff, offering a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

• Market-leading salary: Offering a guaranteed salary of £26,000 per year, with the potential for overtime.
• Car allowance: Providing a generous car allowance of £2,000 per annum to cover the costs associated with using a personal vehicle for work.
• Weekly pay: Ensuring a stable and regular income for carers.
• Security of a contract: Providing the legal protection and financial security that carers deserve.
• Flexible scheduling: Distributing shifts across mornings, evenings, and weekends to help balance work and personal life.
• Professional development: Opportunities for future advancement to senior carer positions, along with skill enhancement and advanced training.
• Mental health support: Providing access to mental health resources through established external partnerships.
• Additional benefits: Including four free uniforms each year to ensure carers are comfortable and professional in appearance.

Nexus is looking for dedicated and experienced carers, especially those passionate about making a difference in the lives of individuals with specialist needs.

“We are inviting potential candidates from across the care industry, to join a team at the forefront of change in the care industry,” said Tinga.

“The direction of travel for all work in the care sector is changing and if we hope to recruit and retain the next generation of carers, we believe that we must be instigators of change and leaders within our industry so that everyone gets the best deal.”
