If you’re used to agency life but crave flexibility, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers on the platform charge within £18.80–£22.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work—so you can focus on care.
Typical daytime visits are hourly and cover personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), meal preparation, medication prompts and short local errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. You’ll spend time getting to know each person and working to their routine. You decide the length and number of visits you accept and whether you’ll travel beyond Rackheath to places like Wroxham, Thorpe St Andrew, Norwich, Acle, Stalham and Aylsham.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify applications quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with paperwork and payments. We issue contracts, collect fees from families and pay you, and we include insurance for the time you are working through the platform.

If you want daytime, hourly work that fits around your life and values continuity of care, setting up a profile is the first step. The process is quick, supportive and built for people who already know what good care looks like.
