For Bellus staff
Refer someone good and we will thank you for it
The best support workers we hire tend to come from the ones we already have. If you know someone who would be good at this, tell us.

Why we run this scheme
People who already do this job know what it takes, and they know who among their friends could do it. A recommendation from someone we trust is worth more than a stack of applications.
It also tends to produce people who stay, which matters more than almost anything else — consistency is the single biggest quality factor in the support we provide.
So if you know someone, send them our way. If they are hired and stay, there is a thank you in it for you.
How the reward works
The bonus
CONFIRM REFERRAL BONUS AMOUNT.
When it is paid
CONFIRM QUALIFYING PERIOD — e.g. after the referred person completes a set number of months.
Who can refer
CONFIRM ELIGIBILITY — all staff, or excluding managers and recruiters.
How many times
CONFIRM WHETHER THERE IS A CAP ON REFERRALS PER PERSON PER YEAR.
How it is paid
CONFIRM PAYMENT METHOD AND TAX TREATMENT.
What does not qualify
CONFIRM EXCLUSIONS — e.g. people who already applied, or former employees.
Every term in amber is awaiting confirmation by Bellus. We are not going to advertise a bonus figure we have not been given — a scheme that pays less than the page promised is worse than no scheme.
What to do
- 1
Talk to them first
Make sure they actually want to hear from us. A cold call from a care provider is not a great start.
- 2
Tell us
Send their name and contact details to CAREERS EMAIL, with your own name so the referral is logged against you.
- 3
They apply
Through the normal route, and they should mention your name.
- 4
Normal process
Screening, interview, DBS, references. A referral gets them looked at properly; it does not skip any checks.
- 5
Your thank you
Paid once the qualifying period is met. CONFIRM TERMS.
Questions about the scheme
1Can I refer more than one person?
CONFIRM WHETHER THERE IS A CAP.
2What if they apply without mentioning me?
Tell us as soon as you can. It is much easier to log at the point of application than to reconstruct afterwards.
3Do they get anything?
CONFIRM WHETHER THE SCHEME PAYS THE NEW STARTER AS WELL.
4What if they leave before the qualifying period?
CONFIRM WHAT HAPPENS IF THE REFERRED PERSON LEAVES EARLY.
5Is this the same as referring someone for care?
No. If you want to refer someone who needs support rather than a job, use Refer Someone.
Know someone good?
Send us their name. It takes a minute, and a recommendation from someone who already does this job is worth more to us than any advert.
