As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you pick the clients you want, the hours you do and the area you’ll cover. You set your own rates and choose shifts that suit your life. Typical pay for this kind of role is in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on the care.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer variety and control. If you’re used to agency rounds but want to decide when and where you work, respite care in Lozells can be a good fit.
