This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Retford and nearby areas, not a one-off post. You’ll typically work with people who benefit from calming routines, clear communication and small, meaningful activities — medication prompts, supporting personal care, companionship and practical household help. Many families want someone who can be consistent and gentle, and who respects a client’s lived history.

PrimeCarers is set up for carers who are ready to move away from rigid agency rotas. You are self-employed: you set your rates, pick your clients, choose your hours and decide your service area in and around Retford, including East Retford, Worksop, Ollerton and Boughton, Bawtry, Harworth and Bircotes and Ollerton. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. You keep clinical judgment and all the hands-on care you already do; we remove much of the paperwork.

Typical pay varies by client and type of support. Many carers on the platform work within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care, with separate ranges for live-in arrangements. 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. We also expect carers to understand dementia best practice: working with routines, reducing confusion and using reassurance rather than arguing.

Applying takes minutes and your profile normally goes live within days of verification.
