Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced visiting carers in Falmouth to carry out daytime hourly home care visits. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and local errands — the kind of practical, one-to-one care that keeps people independent where they belong. You’ll mostly visit clients in Falmouth and nearby communities including Penryn, St Mawes, Truro, Redruth, Helston and Camborne, and across Cornwall when you choose to.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who want more control. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept, and pick the hours and service area that fit your life. Typical rates for visiting care are around £15–£25 per hour depending on your experience and the needs of the client. You decide whether you take short 30–60 minute calls, longer morning routines or a series of daytime visits.
Day-to-day visits commonly include:
- Personal care (washing, dressing and continence support)
- Meal planning and preparing hot meals
- Medication prompting and simple supervised administration
- Shopping, appointments and small local errands
- Companionship and practical household checks
This work suits reliable, caring people with at least one year of professional care experience who want to move away from rota-driven agency patterns. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers requires those checks as part of verification before profiles go live.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and handling contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working with a booked client, insurance is included. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
If you’re based in Falmouth and want daytime visiting work that gives you flexibility and respect for your skills, PrimeCarers can help you make the change. Create a profile, complete basic checks and start choosing the visits that work for you. There’s no single posted shift here — just ongoing opportunities to grow a local client list on terms that suit your life in Falmouth and across Cornwall.
