Working through PrimeCarers means you stay self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose your service area. Many carers move from agency work because they want more control over when they work and who they support. Typical rates for roles like this are £18–£19 per hour, and you can update your rate to reflect the support you provide and the travel involved.

Daytime visits usually involve practical personal care, making meals, supporting with medication prompts and helping with errands like shopping or appointments. These are short, regular calls tailored around each client's needs and your availability. If you prefer to work in and around Swaffham, you can also cover nearby places such as Watton, Dereham, Downham Market, Hingham, Kings Lynn and Brandon.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on assignments found through the platform. That means more time delivering care and less time on paperwork. You remain responsible for being self‑employed for tax and National Insurance purposes.
