This is ongoing, self-employed work. You pick the clients you want, the hours you’ll accept and the area you cover. Many carers who move from agency work choose this route because it gives back control: you set your own rate, choose daytime shifts that suit your life and build relationships with people you care for. Typical rates fall in £18.80–£20 per hour but you decide the exact figure on your profile.

PrimeCarers does the admin for you. We match you with families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means you spend more time with people and less time on paperwork.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who enjoy one-to-one work in the community, working with older adults or adults with long-term conditions who need reliable daytime support. Typical duties include assisted personal care, supporting with meals and hydration, prompting or supporting medication, companionship and running local errands or appointments. You’ll visit clients for hourly daytime sessions rather than live-in work.

To join we ask for a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t already have an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one as part of your onboarding. You’ll need to be able to manage your self-employed paperwork and keep accurate notes for visits.

Applying takes minutes and most carers’ profiles go live within days of verification. Once live, you can start choosing bookings that fit your diary and your local travel preferences around Blackheath Royal Standard and the surrounding neighbourhoods. We’re here to support you while you build a flexible, client-focused care service on your own terms.
