HouiHive is our community of carers, working on their terms, growing their skills, and making a real difference every day.
HouiHive is our community of carers, working on their terms, growing their skills, and making a real difference every day.
At Houi, we believe care is a circle. Families deserve support, and carers deserve respect, choice, and reward. HouiHive is our community of carers, working on their terms, growing their skills, and making a real difference every day.
Here, you’re not just “filling a shift.” You’re shaping the culture of care, choosing the level of support you provide, and deciding when, where, and how you work.
Everything we do is guided by our core values:
Humility: We put people first families, carers, and each other and approach care with respect and understanding.
Opportunity: We create spaces where carers can learn, grow, and choose the type of work that fits their life.
Unity: Care is a team effort. We support each other and foster a community where everyone thrives.
Integrity: We are honest, transparent, and consistent in everything from pay to safety to respect.
These values shape the way we match carers with families, structure pay, and run HouiHive, ensuring a community where both carers and families thrive.

Elderly Care Jobs with Flexibility and Choice.
Everyone’s pay isn’t the same – it depends on experience, location, and the complexity of care. That’s why we use care levels:
Level 1: Basic support, no extra pay
Level 2: Moderate needs, +£2–3/hour
Level 3+: Complex care, +£3–5/hour
Levels help set a fair baseline while still allowing families and carers to agree on the final rate. It ensures carers are compensated for skill and responsibility, and families know what to expect, making pay transparent, fair, and flexible.
Yes! As part of the HouiHive, you can choose your workload week by week:
One week, you might work with Level 1 clients needing basic support.
The next week, you could take on Level 3+ clients with more complex needs.
This flexibility helps you manage stress, prevent burnout, and maintain balance, while still providing families with safe, high-quality care.
Requirements depend on the care level:
Non-medical care (Level 1–2): Assisting with daily living, companionship, meal prep, and mobility. Recommended training includes safeguarding, manual handling, and first aid.
Medical or complex care (Level 3): Administering medication, following care plans, and supporting complex health needs. Requires nursing or clinical qualifications.
Houi ensures safe, CQC-compliant matches, so you can take on work confidently within your skills and experience.
Houi is different because:
You can choose the care level and type of families you work with.
Week-to-week flexibility lets you balance lighter and more complex care depending on your preferences.
You get paid within 24 to 48 hours after each shift – no waiting weeks for payday.
Our 4-step guideline:
Review the care level and family requirements to understand what will be expected.
Bring proof of qualifications, DBS, and references in case the family needs to see them.
Discuss safety, emergency preparedness, and personalised care to show your experience and reliability.
Ask questions about family routines and expectations so you know exactly how to provide the best care.
