PrimeCarers works with self-employed carers who want more control than they had in agencies. You choose your own clients, set your own rates and pick the hours and service area you want to work in County Londonderry.

Typical rates for these roles are £15–£25 per hour, and you set the final figure that reflects your experience and travel.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy short-term, flexible assignments. Respite shifts often involve building quick rapport, following care plans left by family carers, supporting mobility, preparing meals, and offering companionship or night support if required. You’ll work with people of different ages and needs, and your day might be a few hours of daytime support or a block of cover over a weekend. You can accept only the bookings that match your skills and availability. You may also find opportunities in nearby towns such as Coleraine, Portstewart, Derry, Portrush, Ballymoney and Bushmills.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
