Description

Join PrimeCarers as a visiting carer in Leatherhead and carry out daytime home visits that make a real difference. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light errands. Work is typically hourly and flexible — many carers on the platform set their own rates and pick the hours that suit them. Right now, 166 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers looking for more control than agency life usually offers. You decide which clients to accept, your working area and your availability. Many of our Leatherhead-based carers travel locally to neighbouring communities such as Great Brookham, Malden Rushett, Epsom, Dorking, Chessington and Esher and across Surrey when they choose to.

Practical day-to-day tasks include helping with washing and dressing, assisting with meals, supporting safe mobility, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the family, and running small errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are typically planned around daytime hours and are ideal if you prefer short calls or a series of regular daytime visits.

Pay and practicalities: you set your own hourly rate within a competitive local range and manage the work you accept. Typical rates fall around £18.80–£21 per hour. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you are working on an assignment. You remain self-employed throughout and free to work as much or as little as you like.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be expected to keep records and communicate clearly with families about the care you provide.

  • Who this suits — Experienced, compassionate carers who want autonomy, predictable daytime hours and direct relationships with families in Leatherhead and nearby towns.
  • What PrimeCarers does — We find clients, manage contracts and payments, and provide working insurance so you can focus on care.
  • How to apply — Create your profile, upload ID and references, and complete any required checks. Most people finish in minutes; profiles go live within days once verified.

If you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency life and take more control of your work in Leatherhead, set your rates, and choose your clients, PrimeCarers could be the right next step. Many local carers find the flexibility and direct client relationships a refreshing change of pace.
