Description

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced visiting carers to support people at home across Connahs Quay and the surrounding area. These daytime, hourly roles involve personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and light errands — the hands-on, dignified support you already know how to give. You will visit clients in their own homes for planned daytime visits and short calls, working with families who need reliable, professional carers.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you work with and pick the hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

This style of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency schedules give. If you value flexibility and direct relationships with families in Connahs Quay, and you have at least one year of professional care experience, this could be a good fit. Many carers who join want daytime, hourly visits that fit around family life or other commitments.

Joining is straightforward. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers carries out a verification process so families can book you with confidence.

You can work across Connahs Quay and nearby towns such as Shotton, Ewole, Hawarden, Buckley, Flint and Neston, and take on visits wherever you choose within your agreed service area. PrimeCarers supports carers across Flintshire and nearby counties, helping you build a reliable list of local clients without signing a contract that limits your independence.

Applying takes minutes — create your profile, add your experience and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can review enquiries and accept the visits that match your availability.

If you’re a practiced carer looking to move away from rota-driven agency life and want to set your own hours and rates while still benefiting from client matching, contracts and insurance, PrimeCarers in Connahs Quay makes that possible.
