Who we’re looking for

Common questions
You need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help you arrange one if needed) and verifiable references. You’ll be self‑employed and responsible for your own tax and insurance outside of when PrimeCarers provides cover while you work for matched clients.
Waking nights require you to be alert and respond to needs during the shift. Sleeping nights are sleep‑ins with periodic checks and the expectation you’ll respond if the client requires help. The type and intensity of the night will be clearly described in each match.
You set your own rates and PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments with clients. Payments are processed through the platform so you don’t have to chase families for fees.
