Description
Looking for daytime, hourly home care work in Axminster that fits your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers directly with local families for visiting care — help with personal care, meals, medication and errands in people’s homes across Axminster and surrounding villages.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, self‑employed work rather than a single shift. You set your own rates and your availability, and you choose the clients you want to visit. Typical rates for these visiting roles are £18.80–£24.40 per hour. You’ll be able to accept work that suits your diary and the areas you want to cover — many carers work in Axminster and neighbouring towns such as Colyton, Lyme Regis, Chard, Seaton, Honiton and Ilminster while still living locally in Devon.
Daytime visiting care usually means short hourly calls and longer morning or afternoon visits. Typical duties include:
- Personal care: washing, dressing and continence support delivered with dignity and respect
- Meal preparation and support at mealtimes
- Medication prompting or supervised administration where required
- Practical tasks and errands: shopping, collecting prescriptions and light household help
- Companionship, observations and simple record‑keeping for the family or your PrimeCarers profile
This opportunity suits experienced carers who value autonomy and clearer control over their working day. Many join PrimeCarers after agency work because they want to choose clients, keep more of what they earn and build local relationships in Axminster and nearby communities. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments for you, and includes insurance while you work.
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and pick the calls that suit you. If you want daytime, hourly home care across Axminster and the surrounding Devon area, this platform is built to give you the freedom to work how you prefer while taking the admin off your plate.
