"I’ve been with the Gladys team for three months, and they’ve been amazing, supportive, and always helpful. Ellie guided me through the setup process, kept me updated, and quickly matched me with my first client, whom I still enjoy working with. Weekly pay is always on time, and Sharin and Katie are approachable, supportive, and responsive. Gladys is fantastic for topping up self-employed hours or securing block hours. They take great care in matching carers with clients based on interests, making the experience truly rewarding. Highly recommend joining—Gladys is exceptional!"

"I have been with Gladys for around 2 months and they are really easy to work with, extremely friendly and helpful, bubbly and the team just seems like they enjoy life and their job which is refreshing. The process of taking on a Gladys client is very smooth, facilitated by their great communication with carers and family members alike. I think the work that Gladys is doing in terms of linking people who need care with people who provide it is fantastic for the community and they are a joy and pleasure to work with."
