Shifts can be daytime, evening, weekend or short stays; you’ll discuss specific needs directly with families before accepting a booking.

This work suits carers who value flexibility and continuity: people leaving agency models for more control over who they work with and when. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one.
