Visiting Carer Jobs in Porthleven

Help people stay independent in their own homes around Porthleven with daytime visiting care: personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication prompts and running errands. These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want the variety of short visits and genuine control over their working life.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Visits are hourly and local — you decide which clients to take, which streets of Porthleven you’ll cover and when you’re available. PrimeCarers finds introductions and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you’re working with a client. Most carers on the platform set their own rates and see typical pay of £18.89–£20 per hour for visiting care.

Typical visiting care duties include helping with personal hygiene, mobility support around the home, meal preparation, medication prompts (not administering unless specifically agreed), light domestic tasks and errands like shopping or posting letters. Shifts are daytime visits rather than live-in care; you’ll be offering reliable, respectful support that helps people remain in familiar surroundings.

This way of working suits you if you have at least a year of professional care experience and want to move away from agency rotas or block bookings. You’ll get the flexibility to build a timetable that fits family life or other commitments, and to accept only the clients who match the type of care you prefer.

• What PrimeCarers handles: client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payment processing, plus insurance while you work.
• What you keep control of: your hourly rate, the clients you accept, your hours and your service area.

To join, you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll also need an Enhanced DBS check; if you don’t have one PrimeCarers can help you arrange it. Profiles usually go live within days of verification, and creating a profile takes minutes.

Carers on PrimeCarers often work across Porthleven and neighbouring communities such as Helston, Marazion, Hayle, Camborne, Penzance and Newlyn. Whether you already live in Porthleven or are travelling in from elsewhere in Cornwall, the platform is built to support self-employed carers who want clarity, fair pay and genuine choice.

If you’re ready to try a different way of working — keeping the hands-on care you love but with more control — it’s straightforward to apply. Create your profile, upload references and DBS details if you have them, and start choosing the daytime visits that suit you.
