You set your own rates and availability, giving you real control over how you work. Many carers coming to us find they prefer the flexibility compared with agency life and enjoy making direct choices about their day.

Pay is decided by you; the market usually sits around £15–£25 per hour for hourly care in the area, but you set the figure that works for you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You’ll keep clear records and be paid on a reliable schedule without being tied into rotas you didn’t choose.

Who this suits: experienced, compassionate carers who want daytime hourly visits and the autonomy that comes with self‑employment. To join you 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’ll guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly.

What you’ll actually do day to day will vary by client, but common tasks include personal care, supporting safe medication routines, meal preparation, light domestic tasks and shopping or errands.
