Hourly home care in Painswick typically involves short daytime visits and regular rounds for people who want to remain independent in their own homes. Typical tasks include:

• Personal care: support with washing, dressing and continence needs with dignity and respect.
• Meals and nutrition: preparing light meals, supporting with eating and monitoring hydration.
• Medication support: prompting or reminding and reporting any concerns to families or healthcare teams.
• Errands and companionship: shopping, light household tasks and being a steady presence for conversation.

This work suits carers who value flexibility and want to move away from agency rotas. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed, set your own rates and choose who you work with; many carers advertise within a typical range of £18.89–£22 per hour. You can also see typical ranges for hourly and live-in day work: £18.89–£22 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

We ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently and following best-practice care routines. Profiles take minutes to complete and usually go live within days of verification, so you can start being contacted by local families quickly.
