These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off posts. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the people they work with, the hours they accept and the service area they cover. Typical pay reflects your experience and the caring tasks required — £18.50–£20 per hour — and many carers set hourly or live-in prices that suit their lifestyle and commitments.
The kind of support you may provide includes companionship, help with personal care, medication prompts, meal support, maintaining familiar daily routines, and working with families to manage change gently. This role suits someone who values continuity of care, has patience, good observation skills and a calm approach when routines need adjusting. If you currently work through an agency and want more control over the clients and hours you accept in Cramlington, this could be a practical next step.
PrimeCarers takes care of the paperwork: we find you clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed, set your own terms and manage your diary. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
