Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Ripley and the surrounding area for daytime, hourly home care. Typical visits include personal care, meal preparation, medication prompting and local errands — the kind of one-to-one support that helps people stay safe and independent in their own homes in Ripley, Surrey and nearby communities. Right now, 114 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than a single post. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers working through PrimeCarers offer care at a level that matches their training and experience, and typical pay falls in the range £18.89–£21.50 per hour. If you prefer mornings, afternoons or a mix of short visits and longer calls, you can arrange your own schedule in and around Ripley.
What the role involves day-to-day: helping with personal care (washing, dressing), making meals, supporting with medication or prompting, light household tasks and accompanying clients on short trips or errands. Visits are usually in the client’s home; you remain self-employed and free to decide how you deliver care, while PrimeCarers supports the administrative side.
Who this suits: carers with at least a year of professional care experience who want more control than agency shifts often allow. If you’re used to the rhythms of home care in Ripley and nearby towns like Woking, Brooklands,, Weybridge, Great Brookham, Guildford and Castle Green, and you want to keep the hands-on work without the paperwork, this could be a good fit.
Requirements to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
