PrimeCarers is built for people who prefer the control of self-employment but want the ease of a platform that brings clients to them. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — whether that’s central Grays or nearby locations like Chafford Hundred, West Thurrock, Tilbury, Swanscombe and Greenhithe, Northfleet and West Tilbury. We handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work.

To join you’ll need:

• At least one year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

If you already work weekends or want to pick up extra respite shifts alongside other commitments, this is a practical way to keep control of your hours and clients without agency rotas. Many carers leave agency work because they want clearer pay, fewer unexpected shift changes and more dignity in choosing their work. PrimeCarers gives you that choice while helping with the admin.

We do not advertise a single role here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities for carers who want more control and reliable short-term bookings.
