Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Burton Latimer and the surrounding parts of Northamptonshire. If you already provide daytime, hourly home care — helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — you can use PrimeCarers to find clients who suit your skills and schedule.

Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity to work locally and independently. You decide which clients to accept, which days and hours to work and how wide an area you cover — whether you want to focus on Burton Latimer alone or travel to nearby towns such as Kettering, Irthlingborough, Wellingborough, Higham Ferrers, Raunds and Rushden. Many carers offer hourly support during mornings and afternoons, with typical local rates shown as £18.80–£21 per hour. You can also see guidance for typical hourly and live-in ranges: £18.80–£21 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers handles the introductions and the paperwork so you can concentrate on care. We find clients, draw up contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less time on admin and more time delivering the kind of attentive, personal support you want to give.

Who this suits: experienced carers who are ready to move away from agency routines and take control of their working life. If you value flexible hours, clearer client relationships and the ability to set your own rates, this is designed for you. Daytime visiting care typically includes help with washing and dressing, meal preparation, supporting medication routines, light domestic tasks and running errands to keep clients independent at home.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

There is no single advertised role here — PrimeCarers promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Burton Latimer and nearby areas. If you want clearer control over your work, better trust with clients and a platform that supports the business side of care, create a profile and see the kinds of matches that appear.
