Role complexity
Pay and status rules
Use current UK minimum-wage, employment-status, and right-to-work guidance before confirming the budget.
UK setup and records
Keep written duties, payment records, checks, insurance notes, and any household arrangements together before matching.
Role complexity
Hours, live-in expectations, school runs, multiple children, SEN experience, travel, language support, and household tasks change the budget.
Search and screening
Include membership, interviews, references, background checks where appropriate, paid trial time, and onboarding notes.
Planning example
Calculate scope before price
Start with duties, hours, live-in expectations, travel, and compliance checks before comparing headline rates.
Avoid one-rate comparisons
Two roles with the same title can cost very differently when responsibility, risk, availability, and records differ.
