This work suits experienced carers who value flexibility. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to work with, pick the hours that suit you and decide your service area. Typical compensation for companionship roles is £18.50–£20 per hour, with additional guidance available about £18.50–£20 per hour and £144–£160 per day for different patterns of care. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over your time and the people you support, this is a straightforward way to make the switch while keeping professional standards.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments for you — insurance is included while you work. That means less form-filling and more time with the people you support. You remain responsible for your own tax and National Insurance as a self-employed carer, and you keep full control over which jobs you accept.
