Roles focus on hands-on, compassionate support: personal care, companionship, medication prompting, light household tasks and short-term sit-ins. You decide the level of involvement you’re comfortable with and which bookings to accept.

Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, self-employed work across Gosport and nearby towns such as Southsea, Lee on the Solent, Portchester, Ryde, Fareham and Havant. Many families need help at weekends, bank holidays and short respite periods, so shifts can be regular or ad hoc. You set your own fees and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for these roles sits around £18.80–£21 per hour when you set your rate to reflect your experience and the support you provide.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care: we match you with suitable families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means no chasing invoices and practical support if any questions come up during a booking.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want control over their diary, local flexibility and honest, respectful working relationships with families. It’s a good fit if you’re moving away from agency rotas, want weekend or evening work only, or prefer short-term respite bookings alongside other commitments.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self-employed, set your hourly rates and accept the clients and times that suit you. Applying takes just minutes and profiles typically go live within days once verification is complete.
