Private Carer Jobs in Penzance

If you’re an experienced carer in Penzance looking for more control over your work, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with local families for hourly home care. You’ll be helping clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands during daytime visits. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These ongoing opportunities suit carers who want to leave agency structures but keep reliable, meaningful work across Penzance and surrounding areas such as Newlyn, Marazion, St Just, St Ives, Hayle and Porthleven. You decide which clients to accept, which hours to work and the service area you cover. PrimeCarers looks after contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Pay is flexible because carers on our site set their own rates. Typical ranges are shown so families know what to expect: £15–£25 per hour. For clarity, hourly care usually falls in the range £15–£25 per hour, and live-in day rates are typically £145–£166.50 per day.

This route suits experienced hands who value autonomy and straightforward admin. 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 required; PrimeCarers can help arrange or renew one if needed. We verify your documents quickly so your profile can go live within days of approval.

Applying takes just minutes: create a short profile, add your experience and references, and tell us the areas around Penzance you can cover.
