We are on an exciting journey, rolling out our long established services across the UK.

Do you have spare time on your hands and want to work hours to suit you or to fill spare slots in your calendar? Would you like to work for us part time? 50plus is looking for problem solvers, who can assist particularly our older customers and who know their way around a house in terms of how it works.

It's about wanting to help and having a purpose rather than just a job. Our roles are rewarding both in human terms and financially.

We are different - it's all about the service

50plus Service Providers come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some have trade skills, some are from professional backgrounds. All have plenty of experience in maintaining their own or customer homes and getting problems solved. Most of our Service Providers are topping-up their main / retirement income. Working for 50plus is often better paid than working on your own and there's a lot less paperwork to worry about. Join us, be appreciated, have some fun, work with a great team and get paid!

50plus provides a great platform for you

• Customers are brought to you by 50plus sales and marketing. We arrange and pay for local advertising. You are welcome to apply wherever you are in the UK. Once a minimum of two Service Providers and/or companies are available in a new area 50plus will fund a local telephone number which routes to the booking office
• 50plus provides administration, customer services and technical support
• Payment is handled by 50plus, you just focus on getting the job done
• You choose when and the hours/days you wish to work
• We don't charge you fees, we just add margin to your charges on each job which is included in the price paid by the customer.
• Where materials need to be purchased you buy them, they are charged to the customer as part of the 50plus bill and you receive cost plus a margin back.
• We have packages to suit most people.

Service Provider requirements

Service Providers, qualifications wise:

• Everyone needs common sense, to be personable and reliable
• Handy men or women - no particular qualifications but a good aptitude and the ability to resolve problems
• Electricians - membership of a Competent Persons scheme
• Gas technicians - registered with Gas Safe
• Plumbers - a minimum of 5 years experience
• Others - where appropriate membership of a trade or professional body.

Our part time Service Providers are self employed and need public liability insurance, usually from £100 a year and ask for £5m as this is now the norm. Quite a few insurance companies offer suitable public liability insurance but do let The 50plus know if you need help in locating a suitable provider.

You will receive an email acknowledgement from us on completion of the form.

What happens after we have reviewed you application?

We will typically contact you by telephone but may also set up a meeting with you, either at our offices (it’s always good to meet us to see how we operate and meet some people) or we can meet via Team, Zoom or Skype. Alternatively you can email us copies of documentation. Before you work for us we will need to confirm your ID so will check your address and we may need to see a driving licence or passport and a utility bill or similar. If you are professionally qualified (for the service you will offer) we will need to see a copy of your qualification(s). Once we have completed your application you will receive a welcome email and you will be live on our systems and registered to receive jobs immediately. We will need a copy of your public liability insurance once your application is complete - this can be easily uploaded once you are authorised.
