Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed visiting carers with families across Lechlade and the surrounding area. If you already help people at home and want to move away from agency constraints, our platform lets you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you while keeping the personal, hands‑on work you enjoy in Gloucestershire and beyond. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Visiting carer roles typically involve daytime hourly visits: personal care, preparing meals, prompting or helping with medication, light domestic tasks and errands. Work might be a single short call, several calls a day or longer daytime visits — you decide which jobs to accept. Lechlade clients often need reliable, experienced carers for companionship and essential daily support.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and can advertise your availability and preferred areas. Typical rates for these roles are £19–£22 per hour. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work on a booking, so you can focus on caring.

This work suits someone with at least 1 year of professional care experience who values flexibility and more control over their work. Many carers who join us have left larger agencies to build a smaller, more manageable caseload around family life, further training or other commitments. You should have the right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.

You choose which clients to accept and which areas to cover; many carers in and around Lechlade also cover nearby towns such as Fairford, Highworth, Faringdon, Carterton, Bampton and Burford. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start accepting bookings quickly if you wish.

We don’t advertise a single post — these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities for visiting carers across Lechlade and surrounding parts of Gloucestershire. If you want more control over your hours, clearer billing and support with admin, PrimeCarers is built to let you keep doing the work you love while running your own care service.

To apply, create a profile, confirm your experience and references, and list the times and areas you can cover. Once verified your profile will go live and families can contact you directly through the platform. If you have questions about the process, DBS or how payments work, our team is ready to help.
