Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed private carer in Highbridge offering hourly daytime visits to help people remain independent at home. Typical shifts involve personal care, helping with meals, prompting or administering medication, and running errands or shopping. PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is for experienced carers who want more control than agency work allows. You need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role, so you decide when and how much you work.
As a self-employed carer with PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Many carers in the area set rates within the typical range of £18.50–£20 per hour, but you’re free to set what reflects your experience and the support you provide. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matching with local families quickly.
Day-to-day work is local and varied. You might visit the same people for short daytime calls, help someone with personal care and dressing, prepare nutritious meals, support medication prompts, or pop out to collect shopping and prescriptions. If you prefer a particular part of Somerset, you can limit your service area to Highbridge and Burnham on Sea, Bridgwater, Axbridge, Weston Otmoor, Weston super Mare and North Petherton.
PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care: we introduce you to families, manage contracts, send invoices and process payments. While you are working on an assignment you are covered by insurance arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed and in control of the work you accept.
Ready to find private carer work in Highbridge that fits your life? Start by creating a profile — the online form only takes a few minutes. Upload your ID, DBS and references for verification, and once checked your profile usually goes live within days. If you need help arranging an Enhanced DBS or want to ask about working around school runs or existing commitments, we’ll support you through the process.
