On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and decide which live-in stays you accept. Typical pay for care work in the area is shown as £148–£164 per day; for reference the platform also lists typical hourly and live-in day ranges as £18.80–£20.90 per hour and £148–£164 per day. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

What live-in care typically involves: you live in the client's home, help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, household support and meaningful companionship. Breaks are agreed in advance and you will never be asked to provide continuous awake care without those agreed arrangements. Many Locksbottom placements require someone who can support mobility, manage daily routines and offer reliable emotional support.

This work suits carers who want stability and the freedom to manage their working life.
