What the work looks like: visits are usually an hour or two and focus on practical support: help with washing and dressing, preparing simple meals, prompting or administering medication if required, and running small errands or accompanying clients to appointments. Most carers work across Sturminster Newton and nearby communities, offering reliable, respectful, person‑centred care in someone’s own home.

This is ideal if you’re an experienced carer thinking of leaving agency patterns and want more control. On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, decide your hours and define your service area. Typical rates fall within £19–£24 per hour, and you can pick the hours that suit your life and availability.

PrimeCarers does the background work so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance for the time you’re working with a client. You keep control of how much you work and who you accept, while benefiting from a straightforward platform that supports the admin side.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have your DBS and references, that speeds things up — if not, we can guide you through obtaining them.
