PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families across Pentonville and Camden, and around Clerkenwell, Angel, Kings Cross, St Pancras, Farringdon and Barnsbury. Carers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical roles fall within £18.80–£20 per hour and you stay self-employed and in charge of your income choices.

We make the admin straightforward: PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, so you can focus on the care.

You choose the types of respite you’re happy to provide — from companionship and meal prep to personal care and simple moving-and-handling tasks — and families contact you based on your profile and availability.
