Description

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced self-employed carers in Earl Shilton to provide daytime, hourly home care visits. Typical duties include personal care, supporting meals, prompting or administering medication, light domestic tasks and running errands to help people stay independent in their own homes. These roles suit carers who prefer short daytime visits and a mix of hands-on care and companionship.

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

If you want more control than agency work offers, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for these roles are £18.50–£20 per hour and carers decide their own fees within that market range. You stay fully self-employed; PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

This work is based around local homes in Earl Shilton and nearby communities such as Hinckley, Market Bosworth, Braunstone Town, Nuneaton, Camp Hill and Wigston Magna, so you can build a regular daytime caseload without long travel. Many carers who join value the flexibility to accept visits that fit around family life, college or other work.

Who we’re looking for

  • At least 1 year of recent professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
  • Good communication, a kind manner and reliable timekeeping.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with bookings, client matching and the paperwork that can slow you down. You’ll receive payments through the platform, and cover for public liability and professional indemnity is included for the periods you are working with clients found via PrimeCarers.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification, so you can start hearing from families in Earl Shilton and across Leicestershire quickly. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more say over your work, this is an ongoing way to provide hourly home care on your terms. Create a profile, verify your details and begin choosing the daytime visits that suit you.

If you have questions or want help with your DBS, PrimeCarers’ team is available to explain the steps and support your application.
