Pay and practicalities: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay falls in £19–£22 per hour; you can also see ranges like £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for longer live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: if you’ve got at least one year of professional care experience and want more control over your working life than traditional agencies offer, this could be right for you. Many carers join PrimeCarers to set their own hours, keep local travel manageable and choose the type of support they provide. You stay self-employed, picking the clients and visits that fit your timetable.

Joining requirements: you must have at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You do not need to commit to any minimum number of hours or accept clients you don’t want to work with.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families and manage the contract and payment process so each booking is straightforward. If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and take control of your care work in Royal Tunbridge Wells and Kent, it’s a simple, practical step.
