Visiting Carer Jobs in Dawlish

Join PrimeCarers as a visiting carer in Dawlish and deliver daytime, hourly home care to people who want to stay independent in their own homes. Visits typically cover personal care, making meals, prompting or helping with medication, and running small errands or shopping. You’ll be self-employed, choose the hours that suit you, and work directly with families across Dawlish and the surrounding area. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency work — control over clients, timings and how you charge. On PrimeCarers you set your own rate and keep more of what you earn; typical work falls within £18.89–£23 per hour depending on the visits you accept and your experience. You choose which clients to accept and the service area you’ll cover, often supporting people in Dawlish and neighbouring towns such as Teignmouth, Exmouth, Chudleigh, Kingsteignton, Topsham and Budleigh Salterton. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working through the platform.

Day-to-day the role is straightforward. Visits are daytime and hourly: helping clients with washing and dressing, preparing hot meals, supporting safe medication routines, and popping out for essentials or appointments. You’ll work with people in their own homes and have the flexibility to accept single visits, several short calls or a small rota of regular daytime visits. This work suits carers who value continuity of care, clear communication and practical hands-on support. Many carers moving from agency work appreciate being able to choose clients who match their skills and approach, and to build longer-term relationships in Dawlish and across Devon.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers requires these checks so families can feel confident when they invite you into their home. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re comfortable with personal care, enjoy practical tasks like meal preparation and light errands, and want the flexibility of self-employment with administrative support, this could be the right move. Create a profile, choose your clients and set the hours that fit your life. We’re here to support your independent care work across Dawlish and nearby communities in Devon.
