Private Carer Jobs in Prettlewell

PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers in Prettlewell with families who need hourly home care. Daytime visits typically involve personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication and running light errands — all in the client’s own home. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. You choose the clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. £19–£21.50 per hour

Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life offers. If you’ve done at least a year of professional care, enjoy one-to-one work, and want flexible daytime hours around family or other commitments, building a self-employed profile on PrimeCarers could be a good fit. Many carers who join prefer regular daytime visits rather than block shifts, and they value direct relationships with the families they support in Prettlewell and across Essex.

Typical duties during hourly visits include helping with washing and dressing, meal preparation, prompting medication or following simple medicine plans, light household tasks and short trips to shops or appointments. You’ll see clients in their own homes across Prettlewell and nearby towns such as Southend on Sea, Southend, Westcliff on Sea, Southchurch, Rochford and Thorpe Bay. You set the area you’ll cover and the hours you offer.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We verify documentation and references to protect carers and families alike.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding suitable clients, preparing contracts, handling invoicing and payments, and providing insurance cover while you’re on shift.
