Description

Looking for visiting care work in Minehead that fits your life and experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Minehead and the surrounding Somerset towns, so you can focus on hands-on care rather than paperwork. You’ll do daytime hourly visits helping people stay independent at home — personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands where needed.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work here suits experienced carers who want more control. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical rates sit around £17–£19 per hour, and you can list the £17–£19 per hour or £145–£160 per day you’re happy to work at when you create your profile. You remain self-employed and decide how many daytime visits to take each week in Minehead or nearby towns like Watchet, Dulverton, Kilton, Wiveliscombe, Llantwit Major and Lynton.

The day-to-day visits commonly include personal care (washing, toileting, dressing), meal preparation, medication prompts and quick errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are usually hourly and take place in people’s own homes across Minehead and other parts of Somerset, so good travel planning and basic timekeeping matter.

Who this is for

  • Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want greater flexibility.
  • People comfortable with personal care tasks and managing simple medication support.
  • Those who prefer choosing their clients and building regular daytime visiting runs in Minehead and nearby towns.

Joining requirements

  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less admin and more time giving care. Applying takes just minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — so you can start choosing clients in Minehead quickly.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over your work, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward while keeping the protection you need. Create your profile, list the hours and areas you cover, and start accepting daytime visiting care work that fits your life in Minehead and across Somerset.
