PrimeCarers is for carers who want more control than agency life gives. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and can accept only the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. We support matching and administration so you can focus on care. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour depending on the role and client needs.

Work is available across Ballymena and the surrounding area including Randalstown, Antrim, Ballyclare, Magherafelt, Crumlin and Ballymoney. Many roles are overnight-only, either waking nights where you’ll be alert and active, or sleeping nights where you provide hands-on help when required. You decide which you prefer and which shifts you’ll offer. Roles are based in clients’ homes across County Antrim, not in care homes.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity, not a single fixed posting. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you’re working with a matched client. That means less paperwork and more time caring.

Who this suits

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want to move away from rota-driven agency work.
• People who value predictable overnight work and the chance to set their own patterns, whether you prefer regular nights or occasional cover.
• Carers who want to build direct relationships with families and be paid directly for the nights you do.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed at all times and choose your clients, hours and service area.
