Join PrimeCarers to offer hourly home care in Ilminster and the surrounding area. This role focuses on daytime visits to support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. You’ll work with clients who prefer familiar faces and steady daytime support, and you’ll be managing visits that fit around your life.

Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. As a self‑employed care assistant on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and typically see rates around £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care. You decide which jobs you accept and when you work — useful if you’re balancing family, study or other commitments in Ilminster or across Somerset.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the practical admin: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of and public liability insurance is included while you work. That lets you concentrate on care, not paperwork. Many carers from nearby towns such as South Petherton, Chard, Crewkerne, Langport, Taunton and Axminster use the platform to build steady daytime rounds without the usual agency restrictions.

To join you must have:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check. (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed.)
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

We’re advertising ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single post. You won’t be tied into shifts you don’t want — you pick the work that fits your skills and availability. Applying takes minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days. Once live you can start browsing local requests and offering visits that suit you and the people you support in Ilminster.

If you’re used to agency life but want clearer control over your time and pay, PrimeCarers could be the practical next step. Create a short profile, upload your references and DBS, and begin connecting with families looking for trusted hourly care in Ilminster and across Somerset.
