These roles suit experienced care workers who want to move away from agency rotas and regain control. As a self‑employed carer with PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is in the range £18.50–£20 per hour, and you decide which visits work for you.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork: we draw up contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means you can focus on care without a bulky admin burden. You remain self‑employed, free to accept or decline work as you prefer.
This kind of work is practical, people‑focussed and rewarding. Typical daytime visits include personal care, supporting with meals and hydration, prompting medication (administration remains the client’s responsibility), companionship and short errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange an up‑to‑date check if you need one. We verify documentation quickly so profiles usually go live within days of successful checks.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll guide you through verification. Once approved you can browse enquiries and start accepting the hourly care work that fits your life.
