PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work. That means less paperwork and more time supporting people in South Woodham Ferrers and across Essex. You’ll still manage your own diary and accept only the jobs that suit you. Many carers switching from agency work value that control and the chance to develop specialist dementia skills in a home setting.

To join you 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.
