Private Carer Jobs in Earley

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced self-employed carers to provide hourly home care in Earley. These are daytime visits supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands. You’ll work with the same families as often as you and they choose, helping to build continuity and trust for people who prefer to stay at home.

Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. If you’re used to providing hands-on personal care, supporting people with drinks and meals, prompting medication and helping with brief outings, Earley has ongoing opportunities across local neighbourhoods and nearby towns including Woodley, Reading, Wokingham, Crowthorne, Bracknell and Henley on Thames. Many carers moving from agency work tell us they enjoy the quieter travel, the stability of regular clients and the chance to do genuinely person-centred care in Berkshire.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, your hours and the area you cover. Typical rates sit around £19–£22 per hour for hourly home care, giving you flexibility to decide what works for you and your diary. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on bookings arranged through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t ask for mandatory qualifications beyond practical experience, but you should be comfortable delivering personal care and following care plans where provided.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified profiles typically go live within days — then you can start choosing the clients and hours you want. If you prefer daytime, short visits and work close to home in Earley, this platform is built for that kind of ongoing, self-employed arrangement.

If you’re ready to move away from long agency rotas and want to be in control of the work you accept, set up your PrimeCarers profile today. The process is straightforward, support is available if you need help with DBS or paperwork, and you’ll remain in control of which clients and hours you accept.
