Cost of Care
Night Care
Miracle Workers Agency does not offer a night service. However, from time to time it is possible to place a carer who will be willing to cover nights. On these occasions cost will be assessed on an individual basis.
Agency Fee
The agency fee covers the cost of assessment, placement of carers, ongoing client and carer review, Miracle Workers Agency’s insurance, carer training and security checks and an out-of-hours emergency service.
If Miracle Workers Agency pays the carer on behalf of the client a surcharge of 5% of the agency fee is payable. The agency fee is invoiced monthly in advance.
Travel
Mileage charge is 55p per mile where the carer uses their own car for travel or for transporting the client to appointments etc.
The carer’s fare to the assignment is payable by the client on presentation of their first invoice. Where carers are required to travel long distances (e.g. Scotland, Northern Ireland) travel may be charged both ways. Travel costs both ways are payable by the client on all short-term bookings up to 6 weeks.
Bank Holidays
Statutory Bank Holidays that operate in England and Wales are charged at double the carer’s daily rate. The agency fee remains unchanged.
