PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles the paperwork: we issue contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means you can focus on care, not admin, but still keep the flexibility and autonomy of running your own care work in Horncastle and across Lincolnshire.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not promise specific shifts or hours — this is ongoing self-employed work and you choose what to accept.

Applying takes just minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and set your availability; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and accept the bookings that suit you. If you currently work for an agency and want more control over who you work for and when, this is a simple way to move into self-employed respite care while keeping essential support from PrimeCarers.
