Private Carer Jobs in Portsmouth

Work as a self‑employed private carer providing daytime hourly home care in Portsmouth. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes with personal care, light meals, medication prompts and errands, visiting for regular hourly calls that fit around your life and commitments. You set the hours, the clients you accept and the area you work across Portsmouth and nearby towns. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers ready to leave agency restrictions and take more control. Daytime visiting care often involves morning and afternoon routines, companionship, supporting personal care, preparing simple hot meals, ensuring medication is taken as prescribed and helping with shopping or appointments. You’ll work with families directly and build ongoing relationships rather than one‑off shifts.

PrimeCarers supports you to be genuinely independent while reducing admin: carers on the platform are self‑employed and set their own rates, choosing who they work for and when. PrimeCarers matches you with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. The typical hourly rates for roles on the platform sit in the range £18.80–£21 per hour. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We also expect good communication and the practical skills to deliver safe personal care during visits. If you have specific qualifications or specialist experience, you can list these on your profile so families find you more easily.
