On PrimeCarers you’ll be part of a simple, honest way to work across Portchester and nearby areas including Fareham, Gosport, Wickham, Lee on the Solent, Southsea and Waterlooville. Most carers focus on short daytime visits, typically within the £18.80–£21 per hour band; some also take longer live-in days within the £145–£160 per day range. You stay self-employed and set your own rates and availability, while PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance cover while you’re working.

This kind of hourly home care suits experienced, reliable people who enjoy hands-on, person-centred support. Typical duties include helping with washing and dressing, supporting mobility, preparing meals, prompting medication and running errands like collecting prescriptions or groceries. You’ll be visiting clients in their homes across Portchester and the surrounding Hampshire towns, building continuity and trust with people you choose to work with.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed, so you’re responsible for your tax and National Insurance. PrimeCarers makes administration easier by handling contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf and providing insurance while you work.
