Practical courses for independent carers
Learn how to become a self-employed carer, set up a compliant home care service, and prepare to pursue government contracts with a clear, practical roadmap.
Learn at your pace • Practical guidance • No inflated income promises
What to expect
Follow the work in order, from choosing your service model to becoming contract-ready.
Turn lessons into next steps, checklists, and decisions for your own care business.
Understand what training can prepare you for—and when professional, legal, or local authority advice is still needed.
The CarePath pathway
Build the foundations in sequence instead of piecing together conflicting advice from dozens of sources.
Define your offer, identify the people you can serve, plan your setup, and understand the core records and responsibilities involved in working independently.
Work through service delivery, policies, safeguarding, quality, risk, staffing considerations, and the evidence a serious provider needs to maintain.
Learn how public-sector opportunities are structured, what buyers may ask for, and how to assemble a credible evidence library before responding.
Prioritise tasks, track gaps, and move forward with a roadmap you can revisit as your service develops and local requirements change.
