Description

Join a community of experienced visiting carers providing daytime home care across Coventry. These roles involve short hourly visits to support people with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands in their own homes. You’ll visit clients in Coventry and nearby areas, working the hours you choose and building trusted relationships. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of work suits carers who value independence and want more control than traditional agency options. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed, set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers use the flexibility to balance family life, other work or study while keeping hands-on care at the centre of what they do.

Pay and flexibility: you decide what to charge and which visits to accept. Typical rates for visiting home care on the platform are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Typical tasks during daytime visits include:

  • Assisting with personal care such as washing, dressing and toileting.
  • Preparing meals and supporting with nutrition.
  • Administering or prompting medication following instructions.
  • Picking up shopping, post or other short errands.

Requirements to join are straightforward and practical. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will verify your profile and references; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We welcome carers who already know Coventry well and those willing to cover surrounding communities such as Bagallit, Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton, Royal Leamington Spa and Camp Hill. Work where your skills matter most and keep the aspects of care you enjoy—direct support, companionship and real impact—while taking control of your working life in the West Midlands.

If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and agency coordination, creating a PrimeCarers profile is fast and simple. You choose your rates and clients, PrimeCarers supports the back office and provides work-related insurance while you’re on visits. Apply now to start connecting with families in Coventry and the surrounding area.
