Typical visits are hour-based daytime calls, ideal if you want variety and control over your working week. Many carers coming from agencies find they prefer choosing who they support and shaping visits around personal routines. Work centres on practical, person-centred help: washing and dressing, safe transfers where needed, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed, and running local errands.
This is a good fit if you have experience delivering respectful, reliable care and want to stay hands-on in the community around Fareham and nearby towns like Portchester, Wickham, Lee on the Solent, Gosport, Hedge End and Southsea. You’ll be operating as self-employed: set your own fees within the local market and offer the type of home care you’re confident delivering.
Pay & flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and often work within the typical range of £18.80–£20.50 per hour. Whether you prefer short daytime calls or longer hourly visits, you control availability and which clients you accept. PrimeCarers helps with bookings and billing so you can focus on care.
What we need from you:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.

- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
PrimeCarers takes care of the paperwork: we introduce clients, draft contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance cover while you’re on a booked visit.
