An agency that fills the shift, sends the right person, and picks up the phone.
When a shift goes unfilled, residents and clients feel it first. We keep a pool of local, checked and trained staff, and we match people to the same services week after week so they already know the routines.

Short noticehow we help
Care work that fits around your life.
Choose the shifts you want, get paid every week, and build experience across different settings. We’ll get your training and checks sorted, and we place you with the same services so you’re not a stranger every shift.
From first call to first shift.
The same five steps every time, whichever side you’re on.
Step 01Tell us the shift
Call, email or use the form: the setting, the role, dates and times, and anything specific, like a resident who needs a male carer or a driver for a rural run.
Step 02We match the right person
We look first for someone who has worked with you before, then for the best local match by role, experience and training.
Step 03You get their profile
Before their first shift, you receive their profile: training dates, DBS confirmation, right-to-work check and references.
Step 04They arrive briefed
Staff arrive on time with ID, ready for your induction and your policies. If anything changes, we call you before it becomes a problem.
Step 05Timesheet and invoice
Sign the timesheet at the end of the shift. You get one clear invoice, and we check in after new placements to hear how it went.
Timesheets, sorted in a minute.
Download a blank weekly timesheet to print, or fill one in here and download it ready for the service to sign.

A4, one week per sheet, with space for the client to sign each shift.

- Send signed timesheets to timesheets@pecum.co.uk by Monday 12pm to be paid that week.
- Unsigned or late timesheets can’t be paid or invoiced until they’re signed.
Things people ask before they start.
Can’t see your question? Call the office and you’ll speak to someone who knows our staff personally.
How quickly can you fill a shift?
Often the same day. The more notice you give, the more likely we can send someone who has worked with you before. For regular cover, we’ll set up a block booking with a consistent team.
What checks do your staff have?
Every worker has an enhanced DBS check, right-to-work check, two references and up-to-date mandatory training, including moving and handling, safeguarding, infection control, basic life support and medication where the role needs it. You get their profile before their first shift with you.
Can we take on one of your staff permanently?
Yes. Our terms of business set out a transfer fee, or the option of an extended period of hire instead, as the law requires. Ask us and we’ll explain both.
Do I need care experience to join?
Not always. Experience helps, but if you’re caring, reliable and willing to learn, we can arrange your training and start you on shifts alongside experienced staff.
How and when do carers get paid?
Weekly, through PAYE, for the hours on your approved timesheets. Before you start you’ll receive a Key Information Document showing your pay rate, deductions and who pays you, as the law requires.
Five questions, and we’ll call you back.
Takes about a minute. Someone from our team reads every one and calls back within one working day, or sooner for urgent shifts.
