🤝 Care Company Workforce

Who’s eligible? 💡

We want to make it easy to check if you’re covered whether you’re working, giving your time as a volunteer, or retired. Sign Up Here!

✅ Employed

You’re eligible if you’re employed by an organisation that’s regulated and listed on the register of one of the following bodies:

• Care Quality Commission (CQC)

• Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA)

• Care Inspectorate Wales

• Scottish Care Inspectorate

• Jersey Care Commission

 We only need to see documentation that proves your current employment to check that you are eligible.  When you upload your documentation, we recommend that you redact all information other than your name, employer and date.

✅ Volunteering

You’re also eligible if you’re volunteering with an organisation regulated by any of the same bodies above. Every helping hand counts.

🧑‍⚕️ Retired Care Company Workforce Staff

You're eligible for a Blue Light Card! To apply, simply upload:

📄 A pension document from any provider
📝 Proof of at least 4 years’ relevant employment

We only need to see documentation that proves your retired status/former employment to check that you are eligible.  When you upload your documentation, we recommend that you redact all information other than your name, pension provider, and if you need to provide supporting evidence of former employment you redact all information other than your name, employer and date.

✅ What counts as proof of employment?

You can upload:

1. Two documents from at least 4 years apart (e.g. P60s or payslips)

2. An employment or leaver letter confirming your start and end dates

3. A professional registration record with your work history or cease date

💡 Not sure if what you have is quite right? That’s okay. These are just examples we’re happy to look at anything that helps show how long you’ve been in service 🙂
