This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life typically allows. As a PrimeCarerscarer you set your own hours and choose which clients you accept, your service area and your rates. You decide when you’re available and how many short daytime visits you take on. Typical rates sit around £18.80–£21 per hour, and you set the exact fee for each client you accept.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf and provide insurance while you’re on a paid booking. That removes the admin headache of finding clients and chasing payments, while keeping the flexibility of self-employment.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not ask you to change how you work clinically — just to bring your skills, compassion and professionalism. Many carers who move to PrimeCarers come from agency roles in Hertfordshire wanting steadier relationships with clients and clearer pay for their time.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and complete a short identity and eligibility check. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which local families can invite you to care for them. You’ll see client details before you accept any booking.

PrimeCarers is built by carers for carers — if you want daytime, hourly home care work with more control over hours and clients, creating a profile is the next simple step.
