You choose your clients, hours and service area, while PrimeCarers finds clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work.

Pay & flexibility
As a self-employed carer you set your own rates within the local market. Typical ranges for roles like this are £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the level of support required. You can accept short visits, longer shifts or overnight care where needed — you control your availability.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience supporting older adults or people with dementia.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

If you’re used to agency work but want more control over the people you support and the hours you take, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. We don’t supply one-off gigs: we advertise ongoing, self-employed opportunities that let you build trusting relationships in Custom House and across Islington.

Applying takes minutes. Complete a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can review matches and accept the clients that fit you best.

Many carers who join appreciate being able to focus on the relationship and the care itself — fewer shifts lost to admin, more time to develop routines that help people with dementia feel safe and understood. If that sounds like the right next step for your practice in Custom House or nearby Shoreditch, Finsbury, Spitalfields, Barbican, St Lukes and Eastside, getting started is quick and clear.
