About Elder: Elder is an award-winning live-in care provider, passionate about enabling older people to live safely, comfortably, and happily in their own homes. We believe that staying in familiar surroundings, surrounded by cherished memories, is the best way to receive care. Our innovative approach connects families with compassionate, high-quality live-in carers, offering peace of mind and personalised support.

About the Role: Are you a natural connector with a passion for helping others? Do you thrive on building relationships and opening new doors? Elder is launching an exciting new phase of our Care Ambassador Programme, focusing on strategic B2B partnerships. We're seeking enthusiastic individuals to become our local champions, forging vital connections with health-related businesses in their communities.

As a Care Ambassador, you will be at the forefront of expanding Elder's reach, educating local healthcare professionals and businesses about the invaluable benefits of live-in care. This is a unique opportunity to combine your relationship-building skills with a deeply meaningful purpose, directly impacting the lives of older people and their families.

As an independent partner, you are free to structure your outreach and activities in a way that suits your schedule and approach. There are no set hours, no line management, and no targets — just an opportunity to earn referral income through trusted connections.

Typical Activities Our Partners Undertake:

Business Development: Proactively identify and approach local health-related businesses, including GP practices, pharmacies, audiologists, physiotherapists, and other relevant healthcare providers.

Relationship Building: Establish and nurture strong, trusted relationships with key contacts within these businesses through professional cold outreach (email, phone, in-person visits).

Persistent Follow-up: Demonstrate the tenacity to follow up with businesses multiple times, nurturing relationships and diligently working to win their partnership and secure their commitment to Elder's referral programme.

Programme Education: Clearly articulate the benefits of Elder's live-in care services and explain how Elder's Referral Programme works for partnering businesses.

Partnership Onboarding: Guide interested businesses through the process of joining Elder's Referral Programme.

Brand Promotion: Ensure Elder's brochures, digital content, and messaging are effectively displayed and communicated within partner locations.

Community Engagement: Represent Elder as a knowledgeable and approachable advocate for high-quality home care within your local area.
