Tired of Minimum Wage? Earn Up To 70% More With Gladys.

What do great carers value most? Flexibility, Control, and Fair Pay.

As a self-employed professional working through the Gladys platform, you gain complete autonomy over your career:
✅ Flexibility: Work when you want to.
✅ Choice: Select the clients you want to work for.
✅ Control: Set your own competitive rates.

Care is a demanding, skilled job, and you should be paid properly for the invaluable work you do. We believe the core problem with the traditional care system is simple: carers are paid minimum wage while agencies take the majority of the fee.

At Gladys, we fixed this by keeping our head office intentionally small and incredibly efficient.

The result is simple, fair, and transformative:

For Carers: The average carer who works with Gladys earns nearly 70% more per hour than they would with a traditional agency.

For Clients: Our services are, on average, 25% cheaper for the families buying the care.

This is our commitment: We pass the savings directly to you, the carer, because we believe that to get the best care, we must pay for the best care.

Join the platform built for professional carers who want respect, control, and fair compensation.
