Why choose Gladys

Empowering people, Supporting in community

Our model celebrates individuality and connections between trusted local people. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion, and our unique blend of professional Carers and local Helpers ensures that. Not only are we supporting people with their day-to-day needs, but we are creating local jobs for professionals, Mums, retirees and students.

Personalised care, unmatched support

Our carers bring clinical expertise, while our local Helpers offer home and community assistance with tasks ranging from shopping to garden centre visit. This creates a practical and life-enhancing experience that improves the well-being of your loved ones.

Verified and insured

Our Carers and Helpers are all verified and are DBS checked by the Gladys team. We also make sure that everyone on our platform is insured. This means that when you book someone with Gladys you can be confident in their ability to help your loved one.

The best price

Cutting out agency overheads and paying Carers & Helpers more means you get the best price and the best quality of support from motivated and happy people. Our aim is to cut out the middle-man. We also pay better than most agencies, just by cutting out the bureaucracy. We believe that fair pay is the only way to ensure people are their best at work. You will see when you meet our helpers.
