Private Carer Jobs in Glastonbury

If you’re an experienced carer who wants to move away from agency rota pressure, PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers with families across Glastonbury and the surrounding area. You’ll be doing daytime hourly home care: short visits to support personal care, prepare meals, prompt or administer medication and help with shopping or errands in clients’ own homes. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single job listing. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the work and the client’s needs. You can accept daytime daytime visits only, build a regular schedule in Glastonbury, or cover nearby towns such as Street, Wells, Somerton, Shepton Mallet, Langport and Castle Cary.

Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers with at least one year of professional care experience who value continuity and want to work on their own terms. It’s ideal for people who are good at practical personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation and friendly companionship during short daytime visits. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are leaving agency work because they want more control over the people they support and the hours they work.

What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients for you, create and manage the contract, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. We can also help arrange an Enhanced DBS check if you don’t already have one. You must have the right to work in the UK and provide verifiable references to complete verification.

How it works in practice: create a profile in minutes, add your experience and references, and choose the area you want to cover in Somerset and around Glastonbury. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start offering daytime visits at the times you prefer. Many carers pick a handful of families and arrange regular hourly visits rather than unpredictable shifts.

Ready to apply? The application is quick, honest and designed for busy carers. You remain self-employed at all times, you set your own terms, and you keep control over who you work with and when.
