Description

Hourly home care visits in clients' own homes around Rothwell — daytime support helping with personal care, meals, medication and local errands. These roles are for experienced, compassionate carers who want to spend more time caring and less time chasing shifts or paperwork. You’ll be working as a self-employed care assistant, choosing the clients, hours and areas you cover while PrimeCarers introduces families and manages the admin.

Typical daytime visits are focused on personal care, companionship and practical support. Tasks commonly include help with washing and dressing, preparing meals, prompting or supporting medication, light household tasks and escorted local trips. Visits are hourly, so you can build a flexible diary of short or longer calls to suit your life in Rothwell and nearby towns like Desborough, Harrington, Kettering, Market Harborough, Burton Latimer and Corby.

Being self-employed with PrimeCarers means you set your own rates and decide which clients to work with. The typical rate range is £18.80–£21 per hour for this sort of hourly home care work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you keep control of your diary without taking on extra admin.

This work suits carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want an alternative to agency models. To join you’ll need: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes. You’ll create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification profiles typically go live within days. Once live you can accept or decline introductions and shape your own weekly pattern. If you’re used to agency schedules but want steadier relationships with families and more say over your pay and hours, this is a straightforward next step.
