Self Employed Carer Insurance

As a self-employed live in carer, you make a big difference in someone else’s life with a job role that can be physically and emotionally demanding.

With any responsibility, you try to minimise risks. Still, mistakes can be made, so it’s highly recommended you protect yourself against these potential risks you face daily with a policy like our live in carer insurance.

We understand the complexities of the work you do. Our live in carers Insurance from our trusted partner protects you if a mistake is made, like administering incorrect medication or causing injury while caring for somebody.

The Public and self-employed liability insurance gives you coverage should you face a compensation claim due to an error or omission.

Live In Care has teamed up with Surewise to offer Self-Employed Carer Insurance.

Being a Self Employed Carer comes with all of the usual perks that you would expect when running your own business, from choosing the hours you work to having more control over your job’s financial aspects and picking your clients for yourself.

On the other hand, there are many things that you need to consider when running your own care business, such as self-employed carer expenses like tax & insurance.

Micro Provider Carer Insurance

The effect that live in carers, micro providers, and personal assistants have on an individual’s life is significant, and the role is often rewarding, but it also comes with a range of risks, such as;

  •       Public Liability
  •       Accidental Injury to any person concerning your work (e.g. your client, a member of the public)
  •       Injury to yourself as a result of your work
  •       Loss or damage to property
  •       Allegations of negligence or abuse

They provide £5 million worth of public liability insurance for carers, with additional safeguards against claims for damage or loss of property & personal injury (£12,500). The legal expenses element (£100,000) protects against liability for legal defence costs and a 24-hour Legal Advice Helpline should you need support.
