Learn why Heroes love KARE

KARE is NOT a staffing agency. We’re like a matching service between you, a KARE HERO, and a caring community. You get to decide where you want to work, when you want to work and how much you want to work, with no minimum shift requirements. Unlike an agency, the communities are responsible for setting the pay scale, not KARE. The KARE platform simply helps match the best communities with the best Heroes quickly and efficiently.

Usually it’s very quick. As long as you have a healthcare license in good standing with the state, all we require is a brief interview, certain state mandated documents (healthcare license, government ID, BLS card, etc), a very quick background check and drug screen. Once verified and approved as a HERO, you can apply for shifts right away.

The KARE Heroes app is available on both Apple and Android devices. Simply go to the App Store or Google Play store and search for “KARE Heroes” to download for free.

Great question! The pay rates are set by our client communities. KARE does not set the rates. Typically, the pay rates are about the same as what these communities pay their own employees. Many of our client communities will pay an additional bonus if they REALLY need a HERO to come save the day quickly!

Our Heroes are paid the Same Day they work a shift, if they earn 4 or 5 stars on their shift. Payment will be processed the following business day after your shift is verified, according to the table below, as long as the shift ends by the late afternoon on a weekday. Any shift that ends and is verified after 8pm on Thursday, or at any point on a Friday, or on a weekend, gets paid out the next Monday if not a bank holiday. Otherwise, Heroes are paid 7 business days from when the community verifies your shift. 

It’s super simple! If you see a shift at a community where you may want to work, simply click on the shift and click “Apply.” The community will see your application as well as your resume, license and documents. If they like what they see, you will be approved. Once you’re approved, you must click “Confirm” to tell the community you are still available and you will be there at scheduled time.
