How to navigate the 'Placements' page of ElderHub

Updated this week

Head to the ‘Placements’ tab on your ElderHub. This is where you can view all available placements that match your eligibility.

If you see a placement that interests you, click ‘See placement details’ to view more information. When reading through this information, it’s important to ensure you are happy with these aspects of the placement:

  • The level of care and skills required

  • The start date and length

  • The distance to travel

  • How much you will get paid



If you would like to be considered for the placement, click ‘Apply for placement’. Please read through and tick the checkboxes

After submitting, you can check the status of your application in the ‘Applications’ tab in the ‘Placements’ section of your ElderHub.

Elder will confirm by email if you have been selected by the client. This process typically takes a few days. Please wait for confirmation from Elder before making any arrangements for the placement.

Elder expects carers to apply for placements only if they are available and committed to attend if selected. If your placement application is successful, we will expect you to attend as planned.

If you are unable to commit to a placement after applying, you should let us know as soon as possible so that we can make alternative arrangements for care.

You can read more about confirming a placement here.
