Description
Work as a visiting carer in Blaydon on tyne, providing daytime support in people’s own homes. Typical duties include personal care, preparing meals, supporting with medication prompts and running local errands — always for clients who want to remain independent at home. You’ll meet local families across Blaydon on tyne and the surrounding area, working shifts that fit your life and skills. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities: you choose which clients to work with, set your own hours and decide how far you’ll travel across Tyne and Wear. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates, so many list hourly pay in the range £18.50–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support needed.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the paperwork. We write contracts, manage invoicing and process payments so you don’t have to chase money. While you’re working with a client sourced through PrimeCarers, insurance is included. That means you can focus on care, not admin.
This kind of role suits an experienced carer who values flexibility and direct relationships with families. If you’ve worked at least a year in professional care, can show verifiable references and have the right to work in the UK, you’re eligible to join. You’ll also need an Enhanced DBS check; if you don’t have one yet, PrimeCarers can help arrange it for you.
Many carers join PrimeCarers because they want more control than traditional agencies offer: picking clients, choosing shifts and setting local service areas — for example across Blaydon on tyne and nearby towns such as Ryton, Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle, Gateshead, Prudhoe and Low Fell. You remain self‑employed, which means you manage your own tax and National Insurance, while PrimeCarers supports the client-finding and billing process.
Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is straightforward. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after checks and references have been confirmed. We’ll guide you through every step so you can start accepting daytime visiting care work quickly and confidently.
