Sanderstead carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, the hours you work and your service area. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less admin and more time focused on care.
Minimum requirements to join are straightforward: 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 support new profiles through verification and onboarding, and many carers switch from agency work to enjoy the flexibility and clearer control over who they support.
