Description

Are you an experienced carer in Minchinhampton looking to move away from agency rotas and paperwork? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with families needing hourly daytime home care — personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and local errands — all in and around Minchinhampton. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you.
Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day, work typically involves visiting clients in their own homes for short or regular daytime visits. Tasks often include helping with washing and dressing, supporting with mobility, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication within instructions, and running small errands such as collecting prescriptions or popping to the shops. Many carers enjoy the variety and relationship-led nature of hourly home care in Minchinhampton and across Gloucestershire.

This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates — typical pay is in the range £19–£22.50 per hour — and you can advertise the hours you want and the exact area you cover, including nearby towns like Nailsworth, Stroud, Tetbury, Stonehouse, Painswick and Eastington.

Why carers join PrimeCarers:

  • Control: choose clients, visits and your diary.
  • Support: PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
  • Quick to start: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: If you have at least one year of professional care experience and you want more flexibility, better client continuity and clearer pay than many agency rotas provide, this could be a good step. You’ll thrive here if you value building relationships with people, can work with a degree of independence and want to manage your own diary across Minchinhampton and nearby communities in Gloucestershire.

Requirements to join are straightforward:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Pay varies by client and care need — you set your own rate within the local market and choose the visits you accept. Use £19–£22.50 per hour for typical hourly-care references or £145–£160 per day for day-rate comparisons if you offer longer shifts. PrimeCarers makes arranging contracts and receiving payment straightforward so you can focus on care, not admin.
