PrimeCarers helps you find families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. To join you’ll 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. Your details are checked so families can book with confidence, and you remain self-employed throughout.

You’ll work directly with families around Witham and nearby towns such as Heybridge, Maldon, Coggeshall, Braintree, Springfield and Chelmsford, with many opportunities across Essex for weekend and short-term respite.

How to get started: sign up, build your profile and upload your references and DBS. Once verified your profile goes live and families can message you directly. There’s no promised number of shifts — instead you control your availability and accept the bookings that fit your life. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and the whole sign-up can be completed in a short session on your phone or laptop.
