Description

If you’re an experienced carer in Southam looking to move away from hand‑to‑wrist agency schedules, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families needing daytime hourly home care. Typical visits include personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands in people’s own homes across Southam and surrounding areas. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits carers who value control: you set your own rates, choose your clients, pick the hours you want and define the area you’ll travel. Many carers set rates within £18.50–£20 per hour and choose daytime visits that fit around family commitments or other work. You’ll be offering support such as getting up and washed, assistance with dressing, help with meal preparation, prompting or administering medication (where you’re competent to do so), companionship and short errands.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find you clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re on a PrimeCarers job. You remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline any booking. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this is for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who have the right to work in the UK and can provide verifiable references. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check; if you don’t already have one, PrimeCarers can help arrange it. This is an ongoing pool of opportunities across Southam and nearby towns such as Whitnash, Royal Leamington Spa, Austin Village, Warwick, Daventry and Rugby in Warwickshire and beyond.

Working through PrimeCarers lets you keep the hands‑on parts of care you enjoy while reducing the paperwork that often comes with agency life. You decide whether to take single hourly visits, block bookings or regular daytime rounds. Because you’re self‑employed you’ll manage your tax and NI in the way that suits you, and you can update your profile, availability and service area at any time.

Ready to join? Create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify your documents. The application takes minutes and many carers are matched with local families and start receiving enquiries within days. If you’d like to talk before applying, we’re happy to answer questions about how PrimeCarers works for carers in Southam and the wider Warwickshire area.
