Description

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families needing hourly home care in North Tawton. These are ongoing opportunities for daytime visits, supporting people in their own homes with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or assisting with medication, and running small errands. You choose who you work with and when.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits are hourly daytime calls that let you build reliable local work without the rota pressures of agency life. You’ll be helping people stay independent in North Tawton and nearby communities like Ten Acres, Okehampton, Hatherleigh, Chulmleigh, Chagford and Crediton. If you already have the hands‑on experience, this role suits carers who want more control over their hours and the clients they accept.

Most carer profiles on PrimeCarers set rates within £18.80–£19.20 per hour, but you decide your own fees. You also pick your service area and the times you’re available. That flexibility makes it easier to balance work with family, study or other commitments while staying based in North Tawton or elsewhere in Devon.

What the day‑to‑day can include:

  • Personal care: washing, dressing and mobility support during short daytime visits.
  • Practical help: preparing meals, light household tasks and shopping or prescription runs.
  • Medication assistance: prompting, simple admin support and communicating with families or professionals as needed.
  • Companionship: meaningful conversation and checking on wellbeing during visits.

PrimeCarers supports self‑employed carers by finding clients and handling contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you’re working through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers is designed for carers ready to leave agency constraints and take more control over their working life in North Tawton. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single post — you’ll be free to accept or decline any client that’s offered.

If you’re an experienced carer in North Tawton or elsewhere in Devon and want to work on your own terms, create your profile today and start connecting with families looking for dependable, compassionate daytime care.
