What this work looks like day to day: you’ll support personal care, mealtimes, medication prompts, meaningful activities and short supervision during periods of confusion or anxiety. The emphasis is on creating calm, predictable routines and on being the familiar face a family trusts. Most clients prefer to remain at home in Longbenton and the surrounding area, so you’ll be working where your knowledge of the neighbourhood matters.

PrimeCarers is built for self‑employed carers who want more control. You set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour, with common structures shown as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and includes insurance cover while you’re working.

Most carers on our platform choose local clients in and around Longbenton, including Little Benton, Darsley Park, Great Heaton, Killingworth, Newcastle and Newcastle upon Tyne and other parts of Tyne and Wear. That local focus keeps travel time down and helps you build deeper relationships with the people you support.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly so experienced carers moving away from agency frameworks can be up and running without long delays.
