Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed carer offering hourly daytime home care in Cardigan. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders and help with local errands — daytime visits that make a real difference to someone’s day. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from rigid agency rotas and take control of their schedule. You set your own rates and choose who you work for; typical local rates are £15–£25 per hour. You pick your hours, the size of each visit and your service area across Cardigan and the surrounding communities.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork: contracts, invoicing and secure payments are taken care of. While you’re working for a family sourced through the platform, insurance is included. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing opportunities around Cardigan and into Ceredigion quickly.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We also ask that you keep evidence of any relevant training to hand when you apply.
Typical daytime duties include:
- Personal care – assistance with washing, dressing and toileting where required;
- Meals – preparing hot meals or light refreshments and supporting mealtime routines;
- Medication – prompting and support with medication as agreed in the care plan;
- Errands – shopping, collecting prescriptions and short local trips.
