Private Carer Jobs in Kilkeel

Work as a self‑employed private carer in Kilkeel, visiting people in their own homes to help with personal care, meals, medication and everyday errands. You decide which clients to accept, set your own rate and choose the hours that suit you; typical rates sit within £15–£25 per hour. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This role is day‑time home care: short visits and longer calls to support people staying independent in Kilkeel and surrounding areas. You might help someone with washing and dressing, prepare meals, prompt or administer medication where appropriate, or collect prescriptions and do light shopping. If you want regular, local daytime work with control over your diary, this could suit you.

Many carers joining PrimeCarers come from agency backgrounds and want more control over how they work. As a self‑employed carer on the platform you choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you prefer to stay in central Kilkeel or cover nearby towns such as Rostrevor, Warrenpoint, Castlewellan, Newry, Downpatrick and Ballynahinch. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care.

Requirements to join are straightforward and reflect our focus on experienced care:

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

PrimeCarers suits people who value flexibility and want to run their own care work in and around Kilkeel and across Newry and Mourne. You set the hours that fit family life, other commitments or multiple clients; you set your rates and choose the work that fits your skills. We never promise income levels, but many carers use the platform to build steadier, better‑paid self‑employed work than they had before.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team verifies you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once active, PrimeCarers will introduce relevant clients and manage the paperwork, invoicing and payments so you can concentrate on care.
