This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually gives. On PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose which clients to work with and define your service area — whether you want to work around central Newark on Trent or travel to nearby places such as Southwell, Bottesford, Bingham, North Hykeham, Ollerton and Boughton and Grantham. Carers on the platform are self-employed and set their own rates; many aim for £18.80–£20 per hour when arranging hourly care. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

What the role typically involves:

• Personal care: washing, dressing, mobility support and personal dignity tasks in clients’ homes.
• Practical support: preparing meals, helping with light household tasks and shopping runs.
• Medication prompts: reminding or supporting with prescribed medication as agreed with each client.
• Companionship and errands: short visits to reduce isolation, accompanying to appointments or handling small errands.

Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more autonomy and fairer pay than they get working through an agency. To join you’ll need the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), and verifiable references. We do check experience and references to keep the platform safe for families and carers.

How flexible is it? Very. You decide which jobs to accept, your hours and your local boundaries around Newark on Trent and across Nottinghamshire. Some carers prefer short daytime calls; others pick longer visits. PrimeCarers supports the paperwork so you can focus on care.
