You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. £19–£22 per hour
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
What the work looks like: you’ll support people with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship during short breaks. Many bookings are for evening and weekend cover or daytime respite so family carers can rest or manage other commitments. The role suits experienced carers who enjoy reliable, hands-on support work and want the flexibility to accept shifts that fit their life in Marlborough and surrounding areas such as Hungerford, Lambourn, Royal Wootton Bassett, Calne, Ludgershall and Devizes.
Pay and flexibility: you set your own hourly rates and can accept the shifts you prefer. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown on the platform as guidance: £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day-rate live-in care. Remember that, as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers, you’re free to adjust your rates and availability as you wish.
What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. That means you can focus on caring while we take care of the paperwork and billing.
Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already work in care in Wiltshire or the surrounding towns, or are ready to move from agency routines to a more flexible, self-directed way of working, this could be an ideal next step.
