Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families across Chippenham and the surrounding parts of Wiltshire. These are ongoing visiting carer opportunities — daytime, hourly visits supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands. Typical pay is £19–£22.50 per hour.
Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits carers who want to move away from agency rotas but keep the day‑to‑day variety of home care. You choose who you work with, which hours to accept and the area you cover — many carers pick calls around Chippenham and nearby towns such as Corsham, Calne, Manor House, Melksham, Malmesbury and Devizes. PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of the contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.
Visits are usually hourly daytime care: getting someone up and washed, helping with dressing, preparing or assisting with meals, supporting medication routines and making short trips for shopping or appointments. You’ll often provide companionship and practical help that helps people stay independent at home. You won’t be tied to one fixed rota or shift pattern — the choice is yours.
Who this suits: professional carers with at least a year’s paid care experience who want more control over where and when they work. This is ideal if you’re used to delivering personal care in people’s homes and want the flexibility to set your own priorities while keeping high standards.
Requirements to join:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
