Private Carer Jobs in Maldon

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Maldon who need reliable daytime, hourly home care. Typical daytime visits include personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and small errands to help clients stay independent in their own homes. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This opportunity suits carers who want to leave rota-driven agency life and take control of when and where they work in Maldon and the surrounding area. You set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that fit your life. Typical pay for this kind of work is £18.80–£20.10 per hour, with more detail available for hourly and live-in day roles at £18.80–£20.10 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

PrimeCarers finds the clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain fully self-employed: you manage your diary, accept or decline visits, and decide your service area. Many carers cover Maldon and nearby towns such as Heybridge, Witham, South Woodham Ferrers, Springfield, Southminster and Chelmsford when they want to expand their rounds.

Who this suits:

• Carers with at least a year of professional care experience who want more control over their working pattern in Maldon.
• People who value daytime, hourly visits focused on personal care, companionship, meals and errands.
• Carers ready to run their own small care business while PrimeCarers handles client introductions and back-office tasks.

Basic requirements to join are straightforward and fair: you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help you arrange this) and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly so your profile can go live within days.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit. Once verified, families in Maldon and across Essex can see your profile and invite you to care for them. If you’re used to agency shifts but want greater flexibility and clearer pay for each visit, this is a practical path to do that while staying self-employed.
