Description

Looking for a different way to work as a carer in Stevenage? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families seeking reliable hourly home care. This role focuses on daytime visits: helping people with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running errands or shopping. You choose the clients you take on, the hours you work and the area you cover in and around Stevenage.

Right now, 39 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Most carers on our platform set hourly rates within £18.80–£20.10 per hour and choose whether they want short calls, longer daytime visits or a consistent block of hours each week. If you are used to agency rotas but want more control over where and when you work, this setup can suit experienced carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families.

Typical daytime tasks include personal care, mobility support, meal preparation, medication prompting, companionship and light errands. Visits are in clients own homes across Stevenage and nearby towns such as Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Welwyn Garden City, Stotfold and Buntingford, so you can build a schedule that fits your travel limits and commitments.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, pick your clients and manage your diary.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, verifiable references, the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check. If you need a DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We check references and documentation during verification; once completed, profiles typically go live within days.

This is ongoing work across Stevenage and Hertfordshire for carers seeking regular daytime visits rather than one-off shifts. It is ideal for people who take pride in hands-on personal care, enjoy building relationships with clients and want to step away from tight agency control while keeping predictable daytime hours.

Applying takes just minutes. Create your profile, upload a couple of documents and two references, and we will start matching you to families looking for reliable hourly home care in Stevenage and the surrounding area. Profiles normally appear live within days of verification, and from there you can choose which introductions to accept.
