Private Carer Jobs in Newent

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed private carer in Newent and offer daytime hourly home care to people who prefer to stay living independently. You’ll help with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, light domestic tasks and running errands — all in clients’ own homes across Newent and the surrounding area. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This setup suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You set your own hours, choose the clients you work with and decide your service area, while PrimeCarers finds families for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers on the platform set rates within £18.80–£22 per hour and can adjust them to reflect their experience and the tasks required.

Typical daytime visits are hourly home care calls: short outings to help with shopping, meal preparation and medication prompts, or longer visits for personal care and companionship. Hours can be regular morning or afternoon rounds, occasional single visits or a block of daytime support — you choose what fits your life in Newent, whether you prefer local rounds or to travel a little further into Gloucestershire.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list single roles here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across the area so you can build a client list that suits you.

PrimeCarers makes administration straightforward: we introduce you to families, issue contracts and manage invoicing and payments. Insurance is included during shifts booked through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can cover Newent and nearby towns such as Mitcheldean, Ledbury, Ross on Wye, Cinderford, Gloucester and Tewkesbury if you wish.
