What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and process payments. While you are working on placement, insurance is included. That means you can focus on care and on building strong relationships with clients rather than admin.
Who we’re looking for: carers with a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Good communication, respect for people’s homes and a calm, reliable manner are essential.
