This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single job listing, so you can build regular short-term work that fits your life in Fivemiletown and, if you want, Dungannon.

Pay and flexibility are at the heart of how this works. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates — typical pay sits at £15–£25 per hour depending on the support needed and location. You choose which clients to work with and the hours you accept. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and includes insurance while you’re working.

To join you’ll 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’ll guide you through verification — applying takes minutes and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days. If you currently work for an agency and are looking for more control over your hours and rates, respite work through PrimeCarers can be a straightforward way to move to self-employed care while keeping predictable, local shifts.

Once your checks are complete you can browse and accept bookings that suit you.
