As a PrimeCarers carer you stay self-employed and you set your own rates. Many carers on the platform choose their hours, clients and service area; typical rates sit around £148–£164 per day but you set what you charge. Live-in day rates and hourly-care ranges vary by client and need — use the platform to list your availability and preferences and decide which offers to accept.

What a live-in placement looks like: you share the home with the person you support, provide personal care, help with daily routines, companionship and household tasks as agreed, and take breaks at agreed times. Some placements require short travel; carers often come from across the country for live-in roles and stay for agreed periods. Wanstead placements can be local or draw from nearby towns such as Snaresbrook, South Woodford, Leytonstone, Upper Walthamstow, Cann Hall and Nags Head depending on the family’s needs.
