Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed Hourly Care Assistant in Holsworthy, helping people stay independent at home. These daytime visits focus on personal care, meal preparation, medicine prompts and short errands — the hands-on, meaningful support families need across Holsworthy and surrounding villages in Devon. You’ll meet people in their own homes, usually in short daytime visits, working with relatives and the person you’re caring for to make each visit count.

There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and direct relationships. You choose which clients to work with, set your own hours and decide how far you’ll travel. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical rates fall in £19.20–£20 per hour for hourly care. Visits vary: many are morning or afternoon personal care calls, some include helping with lunch, giving medication reminders, or doing grocery runs.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care. We find clients, draw up contracts, invoice and take payments on your behalf, and insurance is included while you work. You stay in control of your diary and service area — whether you want to focus on Holsworthy itself or cover nearby towns like Stratton, Bude, Highampton, Launceston, Hatherleigh and Hartland.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aim to keep standards high: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t post single job listings here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across the Holsworthy area.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. After that you’ll start receiving client enquiries and can accept only those that suit you.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency work, PrimeCarers gives you more control: set your rate, choose the clients you want to support and build a schedule that fits your life. You do the caring; we take care of contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you work. If you’d like a flexible, community-focused way to use your skills in Holsworthy and across Devon, creating a profile is the next step.
