Private Carer Jobs in Hedge End

Work as a self‑employed carer providing hourly daytime visits across Hedge End, helping people remain independent at home with personal care, meals, medication support and errands. You’ll visit clients in their own homes for short calls and longer daytime visits, building relationships and delivering reliable, compassionate care. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota pressures while keeping variety and regular daytime hours. You’ll carry out personal care, assistance with eating and drinking, prompts for medication, light meal prep and essential errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits usually take place in people’s homes across Hedge End and the surrounding communities including Bishops Waltham, Eastleigh, Wickham, Fareham, Portchester and Totton.

On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, agree hours that fit your life and define your service area. Many carers list rates in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and decide whether to offer shorter hourly calls (see £18.80–£20 per hour) or longer live‑in day support (see £145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

If you already have reliable travel locally and knowledge of Hedge End and Hampshire, you’ll be able to shape a roster that keeps travel manageable and rewarding. PrimeCarers supports paperwork and client matching so you can focus on care, not administration. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Deciding to work privately doesn’t mean working alone — you choose who you work with, while PrimeCarers takes care of contracts and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re with clients. If you want predictable daytime work, better control over your rates and the chance to grow closer with a small number of clients, this could be the right move.
