Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Larne and the surrounding towns. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you support, when and where, this page is for you. Hourly home care in Larne focuses on daytime visits to help people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication and errands, offering companionship as well as practical support. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These roles are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a PrimeCarers care assistant you set your own working pattern and £18.80–£20 per hour. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the service area you cover. Many carers in County Antrim find this freedom a better fit for family life and for juggling other commitments.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments for you. While you’re working on a booked visit, insurance is included. That means you can focus on care and practical tasks — helping with washing and dressing, supporting meals, prompting or administering medication where agreed, and running small errands — while we handle the back-office tasks that can slow you down.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK, you’re a strong candidate. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. You’ll need verifiable references to complete verification before profiles go live.

Working locally in Larne gives you choice: accept short daytime calls, regular hourly visits or a mix that suits your week. Many carers cover nearby areas such as Carrickfergus, Ballyclare, Greenisland, Newtownabbey, Merville Garden Village and Holywood and other parts of County Antrim. Because you’re self-employed you can build a client list that fits the lifestyle you want.

Applying takes minutes — create your profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start reviewing matches and choosing clients. There’s no promise of specific schedules or income, only the ongoing opportunity to take on hours that suit you while PrimeCarers supports contracts, invoicing and payments.

If you’re an experienced carer ready for more control and clearer paperwork, join other carers in Larne making the move to self-employed hourly home care. Set your own rates, choose your hours and focus on great care in people’s homes.
