You remain fully self-employed, with the freedom to accept only the jobs you want.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working through the platform. That means less paperwork for you and no chasing invoices.

This is a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control than agency life offers. You’ll be expected to have an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references from recent roles. Many carers moving from agencies appreciate being able to choose their clients in Whittlesey, Ramsey and nearby towns like Ramsey, Crowland, March, Chatteris, The Deepings and Market Deeping.

Typical work includes assisting with washing and dressing, continence support, preparing meals and drinks, medication reminders, light domestic tasks and collecting shopping or prescriptions. Daytime visits are the focus, but you can also advertise availability for longer calls or companion visits if you prefer. You can list different rates for hourly and live-in day work using £18.89–£20.70 per hour and £147.50–£162.50 per day where appropriate.
