How it works

Two ways in, one platform

Booking and employing both keep the price, the payment and the records connected, so nothing gets lost between a first booking and a regular arrangement.

If you need a Helper

  1. Search by service and place

    Choose the service and enter your address, postcode or city. You see verified profiles that cover your area.

  2. Compare and book at a price you see first

    Rates, availability and visible checks side by side. The full price is shown before you confirm.

  3. Your Helper confirms, then you pay

    Your card is authorised at booking and charged only once the Helper confirms. Cancel free until then.

If you already have someone

  1. Bring the Helper you already know

    Invite the Helper you already have for a clearer, more transparent working relationship. Their profile stays private unless they choose to make it public.

  2. Choose Helpore Admin or Helpore Admin Light

    Sign the contract, and the authorization if Helpore should handle the money and the filings for you.

  3. Every month runs itself

    Payroll, payslips and contributions are run for you on Helpore Admin, or prepared for you to pay on Helpore Admin Light.

Helpore

A human choice, backed by better systems

You choose the person. Helpore gives you the information and administration needed to make the relationship clearer from the first booking onward.

Verification you can see

Profiles show which identity and eligibility checks have been completed for that Helper.

  • Prices before you book

    See the full household price before confirmation.

  • Helper-set rates protected

    Helpers set their own rates, and frequency discounts do not reduce them.

  • Managed the way you want

    Adapted to your needs, from self managed to letting Helpore take care of all your administrative requirements.

  • Records in one place

    Bookings, payments, documents and administration records stay connected.

What households ask before starting

Clear answers on finding, booking and managing a Helper with Helpore.

Is Helpore the employer?

No. The household remains the legal employer where a household employment relationship exists. Helpore carries out booking, payroll records, documents and the agreed administration under the authorization you provide.

What is the difference between Helpore Flex, Helpore Admin Light and Helpore Admin?

Helpore Flex is for finding and booking Helpers by the hour, with the full price shown before you confirm and no subscription. Helpore Admin Light gives one relationship the employment contract and the exact monthly wage maths while you register, file and pay yourself. Helpore Admin runs the registration, payroll, contributions and insurance administration for you under your authorization. Both work for a Helper you found here or someone you already had.

Can I bring a Helper I already know?

Yes. If you already have a Helper, you can start directly with Helpore Admin Light or Helpore Admin. You do not need to book through Flex first. Your household remains the employer.

What if I find a Helper through Flex and want to keep them?

You can switch that specific Helper relationship to Helpore Admin Light or Helpore Admin. A placement fee may apply once for that relationship. We show the fee and any eligible Flex credit during setup before you confirm.

Who sets the Helper’s hourly rate?

Helpers set their own rates. Helpore checks the applicable minimums and shows the full household price before confirmation.

What does the price include?

Flex shows one clear household total before you book, including Helper pay, applicable employment amounts and Helpore’s service fee. Helpore Admin is a separate flat subscription for administration; Helper wages, social-security contributions, insurance premiums and other statutory employment costs remain separate and visible. VAT applies to Helpore’s service fee where applicable.
