Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed care assistant providing daytime hourly visits in Tamworth and nearby communities. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — practical, respectful help that keeps someone independent and comfortable. Visits are short or longer depending on the client’s needs; this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post.

Day-to-day you could be helping with personal care, getting meals prepared, prompting or administering medication according to care plans, shopping or simple errands, and offering companionship. Work is community-based across Tamworth and parts of Staffordshire, including areas near Perry Crofts, Fazeley, Roughley, Whitehouse Common, Falcon Lodge and Mere Green. The emphasis is on reliable, person-centred care during daytime hours that fits around your life as a self-employed carer.
If you’re thinking of leaving agency work, this model gives you real control. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; many choose to list within the typical range £18.80–£20 per hour. You pick your clients, your hours and the service area you cover. That means better work-life balance and the freedom to build the kind of roster that suits you.
PrimeCarers finds clients and manages the practical side: contracts, invoicing and payments are handled for you, and insurance is included while you’re working. You remain independent in how you deliver care, while we take care of administration so you can focus on clients.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We check documents carefully so profiles can go live quickly once verified. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
