Description

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities — not one individual role.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical daytime visits are hourly home care calls, usually lasting from 30 minutes to a few hours. Tasks often include personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), meal support and light meal prep, medication prompts, companionship and short errands such as shopping or posting letters. You’ll be matching with families who prefer a consistent, experienced carer in Newtownards and the surrounding area including Comber, Dundonald, Holywood, Donaghadee, Carryduff and Greenisland.
PrimeCarers is built for carers who want more control. You’re self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients and hours suit you. Many carers list rates within £18.80–£19.50 per hour, but the choice is yours. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a client — so you can focus on care, not admin.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable people with at least one year of professional care experience. If you’re used to agency routines but want to control your diary, this is a practical way to move away from shift restrictions while keeping steady daytime work in Newtownards and nearby towns.
- Flexible hours: pick daytime visits that fit your life.

- Clear admin: PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange that DBS if you don’t already have one. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
