Description
If you provide kind, reliable daytime home care and want more control over your work, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Newlyn and the surrounding area. You'd be doing hourly visiting care—short daytime visits to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands—while choosing the clients and hours that fit your life.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
We work with carers who are experienced, practical and want to move away from the limitations of agency rotas. Visits are typically one-off or recurring daytime calls in people's own homes across Newlyn and nearby towns such as Penzance, Marazion, St Just, St Ives, Hayle and Porthleven. The typical rates on the platform are £15–£25 per hour, and because you run your own care work you decide your own rate within that range and pick the bookings that suit you.
This role suits someone with at least a year of professional care experience who enjoys hands-on, respectful support: helping with washing and dressing, preparing simple meals, supporting mobility, prompting or administering medication as agreed, and running light errands like shopping or posting letters. You’ll spend your time building relationships during short visits and ensuring people stay safe and comfortable at home.
PrimeCarers handles the practical admin: we find families looking for hourly home care, manage contracts, invoice and collect payments, and cover insurance while you’re working on bookings sourced through the platform. You remain self-employed, pick your clients, set your own hours and choose your service area.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have checks and references ready, the application takes minutes; profiles normally go live within days of verification. If anything is missing, we’ll explain the quickest route to get you set up.
If you’re based in Newlyn, already travel locally, or want to cover nearby parts of Cornwall, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to offer the kind of visiting, person-centred care you prefer—without agency shifts and with control over your work pattern. Create a profile and start choosing which clients and visits suit you.
