On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas you’ll cover. Many dementia support carers on the platform set rates in the range £19–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

To join 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 (we can help arrange this). You can work hourly or offer longer visits where appropriate. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
