Description
PrimeCarers is connecting experienced, self‑employed carers with families across Roughley and the surrounding Staffordshire area who need reliable daytime home visits. These roles focus on hourly home care: personal care, meal support, medication prompts and short errands to help people stay comfortable and independent at home. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Hourly home care on PrimeCarers is flexible work that suits experienced carers who want control over their days. You pick the clients you accept, the hours you do and the area you serve — many carers cover Roughley and nearby communities such as Mere Green, Whitehouse Common, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, Doe Bank and Hill Hook. You set your own rates and can expect opportunities in the typical range of £18.50–£20 per hour depending on client needs and your experience.
What the visits usually involve: gentle personal care (washing, dressing), meal preparation and mealtime support, prompting or administering medication where the family or a prescriber asks for this, companionship and short errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. These are daytime, hourly calls rather than a single advertised job — PrimeCarers brings the families to you and you decide which assignments fit your skills and availability.
PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on assignments sourced through the platform. That means fewer admin hours for you but your status remains self‑employed: you run your own business, set working patterns and keep control of how you provide care in Roughley and across Staffordshire.
- Joining requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Simple application: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable daytime care work quickly.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control — choosing your clients, setting your hours and your rates — PrimeCarers gives you a straightforward route to work independently while keeping support for contracts and payments. Many carers new to the platform begin with a few daytime visits in Roughley and expand into neighbouring streets and towns as they grow their profiles.
