Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant supporting people in their own homes across Horncastle and the surrounding villages. Daytime visits usually involve personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, companionship and running errands — the sort of practical, respectful help that keeps someone living independently in Horncastle. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life often gives. On PrimeCarers you set your own availability, choose which clients you accept and work where you like within your service area. You set your rates and can expect work in the range £19.20–£21.30 per hour depending on your experience and the visits you accept. Many carers who move to PrimeCarers stay for the flexibility, clearer paperwork and for being able to focus on the care rather than rota politics.

Typical daytime visits are hourly home care visits: help with washing and dressing, continence support, meal preparation, medication prompting, light domestic tasks and short errands like shopping or pharmacy trips. Visits vary — some clients need half-hour check-ins, others regular one- or two-hour visits — and you choose the hours that fit your life. You can work across Horncastle and nearby towns such as Coningsby, Spilsby, Wragby, Louth, Alford and Dunston.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and handling the practical side: contracts, invoicing and collecting payments, and insurance is included while you work on a placement. That means you can keep the flexibility of self-employment while avoiding much of the admin. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification.

Requirements to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Two verifiable references covering recent care work.
