If you already work in care in Cwmbran, or nearby in Usk, Abertillery, Blaina, Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr and Abergavenny, this is a chance to move away from agency rotas and choose the people you support. Many carers who join PrimeCarers want the variety and predictability of companion work while keeping control of their diaries.
PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers: you set your own rates, hours and service area. Many carers who work through the platform advertise rates within £18.50–£22 per hour but you decide what you charge. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working, so you can focus on care.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We check everything quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers suits experienced carers in Cwmbran and across Torfaen who want more autonomy and fair, transparent working arrangements.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload ID and references, and set your availability. Once verified you can browse clients and accept the ones that suit you. Many carers who move from agency work find the practical support from PrimeCarers — contracts, secure payments and insurance — means less admin and more time with people.
