This role suits experienced carers who value autonomy. On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, pick the hours you want and define your service area. Typical rates are around £15–£25 per hour for visiting care, and you’ll see the full range of local requests — short morning calls, longer personal care visits, and occasional one‑off errands.

Day‑to‑day you might help with showering and dressing, meal preparation, prompting medication, light household tasks and shopping or pharmacy runs. Visits are daytime and hourly — predictable work that fits around family life or other commitments.
