Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed visiting carers with families across Portstewart and nearby areas. This listing is for ongoing hourly home care — daytime visits helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and small errands. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Typical visits are hourly and fit around school runs, other work or family life. Carers set their own rates and many on the platform choose within £15–£25 per hour for visiting care. You can work in Portstewart and also pick up clients around Coleraine and towns like Portrush, Bushmills, Ballycastle, Randalstown, Ballyclare and Crumlin.

Who this suits: you already have at least one year of professional care experience, know how to provide dignified personal care and want more control than an agency gives. If you want to cut down on travel, choose only nearby clients. If you prefer short daytime visits or longer calls to help with lunches and medication, you decide.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. The platform finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed, set your rates, and pick your hours and service area. Many carers move from agency shifts to PrimeCarers because they want clearer pay, fewer rota surprises and more say over who they support.

Requirements to start: 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. We don’t advertise a single role here — this is an ongoing opportunity to register and be matched with families across Portstewart, nearby Portrush, Bushmills and beyond.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and set your availability. Profiles typically go live within days once verified. You’ll be able to accept or decline introductions as they come, keeping full control of your diary. Many carers already working in Coleraine find flexible daytime work that fits around existing commitments.
