Description
Are you an experienced carer in Fairfield who wants to move away from agency shifts and have more control? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families seeking hourly home care for daytime visits — help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and short errands in people’s own homes across Fairfield and nearby streets. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, flexible, self-employed work that suits skilled carers who value variety and independence. You pick the clients you want to work with, the hours you accept and your service area around Fairfield (we regularly see requests from Stockton on Tees, Thornaby on Tees, Eaglescliffe, Ingleby Barwick, Billingham and Yarm and elsewhere). Visits are typically daytime and hourly, focused on supporting people to stay independent at home with dignity and practical help.
Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and many choose rates within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the care required and travel involved. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, the contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, can provide verifiable references, have the right to work in the UK and either hold an Enhanced DBS or are happy for PrimeCarers to help arrange one, you’ll fit the basics. You should be comfortable delivering intimate personal care, meal support, prompting medication and doing short errands or shopping trips. Many carers who leave agency work for PrimeCarers tell us they value the ability to accept only the visits that fit their skills and life.
How it works in Fairfield and nearby areas: after you register we verify your references and checks, then your profile goes live.
