Private Carer Jobs in Darley Dale

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced self-employed carers to provide hourly daytime home care in Darley Dale and surrounding parts of Derbyshire. The role focuses on regular daytime visits to help people stay independent at home: personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and small errands. Darley Dale clients need thoughtful, reliable carers who bring experience and discretion to each visit.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits skilled carers who want to move away from agency rotas and run their own service. You set your own rates and availability, choose the clients you want to work with, and decide how far you will travel. Typical pay for roles like these sits in the range £18.80–£20.50 per hour; for clarity, that covers both shorter hourly visits (£18.80–£20.50 per hour) and the occasional day-rate for live-in style days (£145–£160.50 per day).

Day-to-day the role is straightforward: arrive for scheduled daytime visits, support with washing, dressing and other personal care, prepare meals and drinks, prompt or administer medication as agreed, and run light errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. You’ll record visits professionally and keep clients’ families updated when requested.

PrimeCarers handles the admin. We introduce you to local families, manage contracts, invoicing and timely payments, and provide insurance cover while you are working through the platform. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Requirements to join (you must meet these before matching with clients):

• 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

We cover Darley Dale and nearby towns including Matlock, Alport Town, Gratton, Bakewell, Wirksworth and Clay Cross. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain fully self-employed: you set your hours, service area and which clients you accept.
