Description
Are you an experienced carer in Rickmansworth looking for daytime, hourly home care work that fits your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with families who need help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands in people’s own homes across Rickmansworth and surrounding areas. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and parts of Rickmansworth you’ll cover. Right now, 104 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than a single placement. Most roles are daytime visits, helping with washing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders and light household tasks. Work will often be local to Rickmansworth and Hertfordshire, and we also see requests from nearby towns including Chorleywood, Harefield, Northwood, Watford, Hatch End and Ruislip.
Pay is flexible because carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates. Typical listings fall around £19–£22 per hour. For clarity, common reference ranges we show are £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £148–£163.50 per day for live-in day rates, though you remain free to set what you charge.
This opportunity suits experienced, reliable carers who prefer direct client relationships and more control than agency shifts usually allow. You’ll manage your diary, accept clients that fit you, and work the hours you choose. PrimeCarers takes care of the business side: we find clients, prepare contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover for the time you are working with a client.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes — you complete a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain self-employed at all times and can update your availability and rates whenever you like.
If you’re used to agency pressures but want more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers is built for carers who want straightforward, respectful client matches and the practical support to run their own care work in Rickmansworth and across Hertfordshire.
