Visiting Carer Jobs in Killingworth

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Killingworth who need hourly daytime support. The role is visiting home care: short daytime calls to help with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands, all in clients' own homes. You’ll work one-to-one, supporting independence and dignity in the community. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits carers who want more control than traditional agency work. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical rates for these visiting carer roles are £18.80–£23.50 per hour and you decide how you price your time and experience. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client.

Most visits are daytime calls focused on practical, compassionate care: assisting with washing and dressing, helping with meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed, supporting mobility and doing light errands or shopping. Visits vary in length so you can build a pattern of morning or afternoon calls that fits your life. Many carers who switch from agency work find they can increase their take-home by choosing shorter travel distances and scheduling consecutive visits.

To join you need at least one year of recent professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Once your references and checks are in place, you can browse client requests and accept the calls that match your skills and availability. If you're ready to move away from rigid rotas and want to keep delivering hands-on, compassionate care in people's own homes, PrimeCarers is set up to make that transition straightforward and secure.
