Working through PrimeCarers suits carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families. Many carers come to us after agency work because they want more control over their day, clearer communication with families and the ability to set rates that reflect their skills and experience. Typical rates fall in the range £19–£19.20 per hour, and you set your own fees as a self‑employed carer.

What you’ll do day‑to‑day: personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), preparing meals and drinks, prompting or administering medication according to family instructions, light errands and companionship on short daytime visits. Visits are usually in clients’ own homes in Bideford and nearby towns such as Northam, Great Torrington, Barnstaple, Hartland, Ilfracombe and Highampton. Many carers focus on daytime work that fits around their other commitments.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed: you set your rates, choose clients and decide your working area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Requirements to join are straightforward and fair: 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. We won’t list one single role here — this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Bideford and parts of Devon.

If you’re ready to take more control of your work, create a straightforward profile, upload your documents and start seeing client matches. Many carers switch to PrimeCarers because they want reliable, respectful families and the freedom to run their own service.
