On PrimeCarers you work as self‑employed: you set your own rates and keep more of what you earn, choose the clients you want and pick the hours that fit your life. Typical visits are hourly daytime calls, focusing on dignity, companionship and practical support. Many carers move from agency life to enjoy the calmer pace of regular, planned visiting work in and around Petworth.

You choose your rates within the local market and advertise them on your profile. Many carers in the area set rates within the typical range shown on our site, and you control when and where you work.

Who this suits
This is ideal if you have at least a year of professional care experience, a calm, patient manner and the ability to work independently in people’s homes.
