You’ll support clients who benefit from familiar routines, gentle companionship and discreet personal care — all delivered in their own homes in and around Coalville. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who prefer one‑to‑one time, predictable routines and the chance to build a relationship with the same people over weeks and months. Typical duties include supporting daily routines and mealtimes, prompting medication, offering reassuring companionship, helping with personal care where required and liaising with family members. The emphasis is on patience, consistency and keeping things familiar for the person you’re supporting.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self‑employed carer: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers on the platform set rates within £18.50–£20.50 per hour and choose shifts or live‑in work that suit their life. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

We’re looking for carers based in Coalville and nearby towns such as Shepshed, Ashby de la Zouch, Ashby Woulds, Market Bosworth, Melbourne and Loughborough who have at least one year of professional care experience and can provide verifiable references. You’ll also need the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. We ask for clear references so families can feel confident when they choose you.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and complete basic checks; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you stay in control: accept the clients and hours that fit your life, and update your availability as needed. PrimeCarers handles the admin side so you can focus on care.
