Description

Work as a self-employed hourly care assistant in Honiton, providing daytime visits that support people to stay safe and comfortable at home. Typical visits include personal care, meal support, medication reminders and help with shopping or errands. You’ll be offering one-to-one care in private homes across Honiton and the surrounding area of Devon, working directly with families who need reliable, compassionate help.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want control. You set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. Carers on the platform are self-employed and can list hourly rates that reflect their experience and skills — many choose to advertise within £18.80–£25 per hour so families know what to expect.

This kind of role suits someone with at least a year of professional care experience who enjoys daytime, hourly visiting work rather than live-in shifts. Typical tasks are:

  • Personal care such as washing, dressing and continence support
  • Preparing meals and supporting nutrition
  • Medication prompts and simple administration checks
  • Shopping, errands and appointments with clients

You’ll often be working with older people who prefer to stay in their own home — in Honiton and nearby towns such as Ottery St Mary, Colyton, Seaton, Axminster, Sidmouth and Cullompton — and families value carers who arrive on time, listen, and respect the person’s routine. PrimeCarers supports independent carers by taking care of the administration so you can focus on care.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if you need one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can begin choosing local daytime visits that suit your availability.
