Contracting with a care agency
There are many care agencies that provide support services. If you choose to purchase care from an agency, you will not be the employer of the staff who support you. Instead, the agency will employ them, and you will have a contract with the agency. This means you will not have the responsibilities of being an employer.
We can provide guidance to help you choose the right agency for your needs.
You can find a complete list of agencies who are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) that operate in Hartlepool on the Hartlepool Now website.
