Typical work is practical and compassionate: companionship, help with personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks and supporting families during short breaks. Shifts commonly include day and evening respite, weekend blocks and occasional live-in cover. You set your own rate on PrimeCarers and many carers choose within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on skills and experience. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you’re working.

This approach suits carers who value flexibility. If you currently work agency shifts and want steadier, locally focused work in Fitzrovia and nearby areas such as Bloomsbury, Soho, St Pancras, Marylebone, St. Marylebone and St Giles, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to build a regular roster of families. You choose clients, hours and service area — many carers cover parts of Camden as well.

Requirements to join are clear and practical. You need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise one-off roles here; we introduce you to families looking for ongoing respite support across Fitzrovia and neighbouring streets. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with templates and guidance around contracts and invoicing so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll verify your details — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests and pick the bookings that fit your life. If you want flexible weekly weekends, occasional day cover, or short live-in breaks, you decide.
