Description

Looking for hourly home care work in Stone? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families for daytime visits — personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — all in the client's own home. You choose who you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover, while PrimeCarers finds the clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments with insurance included while you work. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Visits tend to be short, regular calls during the day, focused on helping people stay independent and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Tasks commonly include personal care, assisting with meals, administering or prompting medication, light household tasks and shopping or errands. Many carers value the control of setting their own pace and standards; typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the client and the support needed.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and regain control of their diary and rates. To join you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. While you work with families introduced by PrimeCarers, insurance is included, and you remain self-employed so you manage your own taxes and commitments.

PrimeCarers takes care of the time‑consuming admin: we introduce clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments and provide the insurance cover included while you work. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start choosing clients quickly. We cover Stone and surrounding areas including Eccleshall, Longton, Fenton, Stoke on Trent, Stafford and Newcastle under Lyme and other parts of Staffordshire, letting you pick how far you travel.

If you want reliable, local hourly work that fits around your life, creating a profile is the first step. Many carers join, list their availability and preferred call types, then begin matching with families who value experienced, kind and dependable support. Apply now — it only takes a few minutes to get started and your profile can be active within days of verification, so you can begin selecting the clients and hours that suit you.
