Description
Are you an experienced carer in Hednesford looking to move away from agency rotas and take control of your work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need daytime, hourly home care: personal care, meal support, medication prompts and light errands. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you take and how far you’ll travel in and around Hednesford. Typical work includes short daytime visits that help people stay independent at home.
Right now, 19 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.Hourly care roles focus on one-off or regular daytime visits — helping with washing, dressing, toileting support, preparing meals, prompting medications and collecting shopping or prescriptions. Most carers on the platform do shifts that fit around family life, college or other work. If you prefer regular daytime visits in Hednesford or nearby towns like Cannock, Burntwood, Rugeley, Penkridge, Brownhills and Pelsall, PrimeCarers can help you find clients who match your availability and skills.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and accept the bookings you want. Many carers aim for £18.50–£20 per hour when advertising their hourly care. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working for a family. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork.
What we ask for: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. If you already have an enhanced DBS and references, you’ll move even faster through verification. We accept carers from across Staffordshire and surrounding areas who meet those checks.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, list the services you offer and the hours you want, then upload your references and DBS. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, families can invite you to interviews and bookings — you remain in control of which requests you accept.
This opportunity suits experienced care professionals who want the flexibility to choose clients, build stronger one-to-one relationships and shape their working week. If you’re used to agency life but want clearer pay, fewer rota surprises and more direct relationships with families, PrimeCarers in Hednesford could be the right step.
