Private Carer Jobs in Newport

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed private carer in Newport and deliver hourly home care visits that make a real difference. Daytime shifts typically involve personal care, help with getting dressed, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, light household tasks and errands, and companionship. You’ll be helping people remain independent in their own homes across Newport and the surrounding area, choosing the clients and times that suit you. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates, pick the clients you accept, and decide your service area and hours. Typical pay for hourly care is £18.80–£22 per hour depending on the visit type and client needs. You remain self-employed and can arrange work around family, study or other commitments.

Typical duties include:

• Personal care: washing, dressing, continence support and dignity-led assistance.
• Medication support: prompting, reminders and simple admin where appropriate.
• Meals & nutrition: planning, preparation and mealtime support.
• Practical tasks: shopping, errands, light cleaning and companionship to reduce isolation.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain responsible for your self-employed tax and NI, but we remove much of the admin burden so you can focus on care. We cover Newport and nearby areas such as Cwmbran, Usk, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Caldicot and Clevedon.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it. We check qualifications and references to protect clients and carers alike.

Applying takes just minutes. Once we verify your documents and references, profiles typically go live within days, so you can start choosing visits straightaway. If you’re ready to leave agency constraints and run your own care work in Newport, PrimeCarers gives you the platform, support and clients to do it on your terms.
