Description

Looking for flexible daytime home care work across Amersham and the surrounding area? As a private carer on PrimeCarers you’ll carry out hourly visits in clients’ own homes, helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands. You’ll be working one-to-one with people who need reliable, compassionate support while staying independent in their own homes. Right now, 54 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who value genuine relationships and predictable daytime hours. You’ll do visits that typically last an hour or more, supporting with tasks such as personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation, prompting medication, companionship and shopping or prescription runs. Work is self-employed and you set your own rates; the typical range for this kind of role is £19–£22 per hour. You can also offer longer daytime blocks or occasional live-in days if you choose — typical ranges are £19–£22 per hour and £147.50–£162.50 per day respectively.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform: you choose your clients, hours and service area around Amersham and wider Buckinghamshire. We find clients for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. While you’re working with a matched client we include insurance cover. Many carers join because they want to leave the restrictions of agencies while keeping administrative support and a steady flow of referrals.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have these, applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll also be able to accept or decline any client before committing — so you keep control over your diary.

We work with people across Amersham and nearby towns including Chesham, Ley Hill, Chorleywood, Beaconsfield, Berkhamsted and Rickmansworth.
