There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day, visits are focused on dignity and practical support. Some clients need help with showering or dressing, others with meal times and companionship, and some with medication prompts. Shifts are typically short daytime visits rather than live-in placements, so you’ll spend your time delivering focused, person-centred care around people’s routines. Many carers who know St Mawes and surrounding Cornwall towns appreciate bringing continuity and local knowledge to each visit — especially around Falmouth, Penryn, Truro, Redruth, Helston and Camborne.

Pay and flexibility are straightforward. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and decide which jobs to accept. Typical rates fall in the range £15–£25 per hour. For reference, the platform also publishes typical ranges for different arrangements: hourly care £15–£25 per hour and live-in day rates £145–£165.50 per day. You choose your hours and service area, so you can build part-time daytime work, regular morning or afternoon rounds, or a fuller weekly pattern that fits your life.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a family. That means less paperwork than agency work and more control over which visits you accept.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do ask for evidence of your experience and references before your profile goes live.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles are verified and live within days.
