You’ll find that families in Harlech value consistency, compassion and someone who can step in at short notice.

You are self-employed on PrimeCarers: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and your service area. Many carers use £15–£25 per hour as a guide when setting rates, but it’s up to you to set what works for your experience and availability. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working for a family — so you can focus on care, not admin.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We’re straightforward about checks because families rely on reliability and clear history.
