Our Mission

We are redefining social care staffing by putting people before profit. Our mission at Present is simple: to ensure carers are valued, paid fairly, and fully supported, so they can provide the highest quality care.

As the first not-for-profit staffing agency in social care, we reinvest every penny into better wages, free training, and enhanced wellbeing for carers, while keeping costs low for clients.

We believe that when carers thrive, care improves – creating a more sustainable, ethical future for social care. Together, we are building a future that truly supports those who dedicate their lives to others.

By reinvesting in carers and clients, we are working towards a sector where staff feel valued, care providers receive reliable support, and those in need experience the best possible care. Through innovation, ethical staffing, and a commitment to reinvesting in people, we are shaping a better, more sustainable future for social care – one shift at a time.

Our Story

Social care is in crisis – carers are underpaid, providers struggle with costs, and traditional staffing agencies put profit before people. We knew there had to be a better way.

Present was created to redefine what a staffing agency should be – one that values carers, supports clients, and reinvests in care. As the first not-for-profit staffing agency, we exist to ensure fair pay, career development, and real support for carers, while keeping costs low for clients.

We’re here to look after the future of social care, building a sustainable, ethical social care system that puts people first – always.
