PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families in Lostwithiel who need daytime visiting support in their own homes. These are hourly home care visits helping with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running errands or appointments. You’ll be choosing local clients and building ongoing care relationships rather than filling single one-off shifts.
