Description

Looking for visiting carer work in Alton, Hampshire that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need reliable daytime support at home. You’ll be making hourly visits to help with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light errands — all while choosing the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits carers with at least one year’s professional experience who want more control than traditional agency shifts allow. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and accept the jobs you want. Typical pay sits within £19–£22 per hour depending on the client and the tasks required.

Day-to-day visits usually include a mix of:

  • personal care (washing, dressing, continence support where appropriate)
  • meals and dietary support
  • medication prompting and safe administration reminders
  • shopping, collecting prescriptions and light errands
  • companionship and observing changes in needs

PrimeCarers makes it simpler to work independently: we find clients for you, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are booked with a client. You remain self-employed — you decide who to work for, when to travel and how far in the Alton area you’ll cover.

What we need from you:

  • at least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • the right to work in the UK
  • verifiable references

Applying takes only minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification.

You’ll keep the freedom of self-employment while PrimeCarers handles much of the admin that used to slow you down.
