Description

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced self-employed carers in Hatherleigh to provide daytime, hourly home care visits. You’ll support clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and local errands, working with people who want to remain independent in familiar surroundings. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is a breathable alternative to agency rotas — ideal if you have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control. You pick the hours that suit you, the clients you accept and the area you cover around Hatherleigh and beyond into Devon. Many carers who leave agencies choose PrimeCarers because they want to work more locally and balance life around family, study or other commitments. We also see regular requests from nearby communities such as Highampton, Ten Acres, Okehampton, North Tawton, Great Torrington and Chulmleigh.

How it works in practice: PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you. While you’re on a booking, insurance is included. You remain self-employed: that means you set your own rates, choose your clients and control your diary. To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

Pay and flexibility are at the heart of these roles. Many carers charge within the local typical range of £15–£25 per hour, and you decide exactly what to charge when you set up your profile. Shifts are daytime, hourly visits so you can build a diary that fits other commitments. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re advertising ongoing, self-employed opportunities across Hatherleigh, not a single post or one-off placement. If you’re used to agency life but want clearer control over who you care for and when, this option gives you that space while removing the admin headache. If you cover Hatherleigh and surrounding Devon villages, you can select the travel distance that works for you.

Ready to find local, daytime home care work with more autonomy? Start your profile and have it live in days—then choose the clients and hours that suit you in Hatherleigh and nearby towns. Join PrimeCarers to keep doing the work you love, with more freedom and less paperwork.
