Description
We’re looking for experienced private carers for hourly daytime home care in Saltney and the surrounding parts of Flintshire. These daytime visits focus on personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, light domestic support and running errands so clients can stay independent in their own homes. You’ll be working with families across Saltney, often supporting people who need companionship and practical help during the day. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity rather than one specific post. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and keep control of your diary. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Many carers who leave agency life tell us they enjoy the clearer admin and the freedom to choose work that fits their life in Saltney and nearby towns such as Chester, Hawarden, Ewole, Shotton, Connahs Quay and Buckley.
The kind of daytime visits you can expect:
- Personal care and dignity-focused support (washing, dressing, toileting)
- Meal preparation and assistance with eating
- Medication prompting and simple medication support where appropriate
- Shopping, collecting prescriptions and light errands
- Companionship and practical help to keep people active at home
Pay and flexibility: you choose your rates and working pattern. Typical hourly care rates on the platform sit around £18.80–£20 per hour. As a self-employed carer you can accept the visits that match your skills and availability, and arrange travel between clients to suit your day.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for ID and references as part of verification; once those are checked your profile usually goes live within days.
How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Add your experience, upload ID and references, and you’ll be ready to start receiving client matches and enquiries. PrimeCarers helps with contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on the care. If you want to stay working locally in Saltney and across Flintshire while being in control of your rates and hours, this could be a good next step.
