As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the work you accept. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support required. You can list £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live‑in days on your profile, and update them whenever you like.
