If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this is set up for people with at least a year of professional care experience who want flexible, local, meaningful work. Many carers on the platform set their own pay within £18.50–£20 per hour, accept short daytime visits or regular hourly rounds, and balance this work alongside other commitments.

Typical daytime duties include: personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), preparing meals and drinks, prompting or assisting with medication, light domestic tasks and running errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are usually in clients’ own homes across Chapel en le Frith and nearby towns such as Shallcross, Whaley Bridge, Buxton, New Mills, Bollington and Glossop.

To join you must have the right to work in the UK, at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

You stay in control of your service area, choose which clients you accept, and set the hourly rates that suit your skills and expenses. PrimeCarers also takes care of the admin — contracts, invoicing and payments — so you can spend more time caring and less time chasing paperwork.
