You can set your availability around other commitments and build a pattern of weekend or short-term bookings that fits your life in Lancashire.

How it works in practice: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

What you won’t get here is fixed rota control from an agency — instead you choose the bookings you want.
