Description

We’re matching experienced, self-employed carers with families across Didcot for daytime hourly home care visits. Work helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and short errands – visits that keep clients independent and comfortable. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Visits are hourly and usually daytime, so you’ll support with tasks such as personal washing and dressing, meal preparation, medication prompts, shopping runs and companionship. Many carers cover Didcot and nearby towns including Abingdon, Wallingford, Wantage, Cowley, Oxford and Watlington and regularly travel within Oxfordshire to meet clients’ needs.

This kind of work suits carers who value flexibility and professional control. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed and choose your own clients, hours and service area. You set your own rates and many carers work within £19–£22 per hour depending on the support required and the hours offered. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines, this lets you take the skills you’ve built and apply them where you want.

What we ask

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable references from recent work.
