Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which families to work with. Typical rates in the area are £18.80–£21.50 per hour, and you decide whether to take shorter daytime visits or longer hourly shifts. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work — so you keep the care focused on people, not paperwork.
