Private Carer Jobs in Heathfield

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed private carer delivering hourly daytime visits in Heathfield. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — the hands-on, humane work many carers prefer to agency rotas. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing opportunities are for carers who want freedom over when and where they work. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Daytime visits are the focus: shorter calls or longer morning and afternoon visits that help clients stay independent in their own homes in Heathfield and across East Sussex.

Typical duties include assisting with personal care, preparing simple meals, prompting or administering medication within agreed care plans, helping with shopping or errands, and spending quality time with someone who needs company. You’ll be working directly with families while remaining self-employed and in control of which assignments you accept.

What you need to join: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help you arrange a DBS if you need it. Profiles usually go live within days of verification, and applying takes only minutes.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on assignments secured through the platform. You remain self-employed and free to set the times and areas you cover.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over pay and hours, this is designed for experienced carers who value flexibility and clearer working arrangements. You decide your availability, accept the clients that fit your skill set and set your fees within the market—typical rates on the platform are £19–£21 per hour.

We often have opportunities in Heathfield and nearby towns like Uckfield, Hailsham, Wadhurst, Crowborough, Polegate and Battle. Applying takes minutes, PrimeCarers verifies your documents and references, and your profile can be visible to local families within days.

If you want daytime, hourly home care work in Heathfield and the surrounding area while keeping control over your work, this could be the next step in your care career.
