Private Carer Jobs in Taunton

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families in Taunton for hourly home care: daytime visits to help with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running errands. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes across Taunton and nearby communities. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want the freedom to leave agency rosters behind and pick the clients and hours that fit their life. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and can expect typical pay of £18.80–£21 per hour depending on the client and duties. If you sometimes take longer daytime visits or combine short calls, the platform also lists the typical hourly and live‑in day ranges: £18.80–£21 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

In Taunton and the surrounding Somerset towns you’ll find a mix of short daytime visits and longer support calls; many families need reliable, kind professionals who can build a trusting routine. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area — cover Taunton or extend to Wellington, North Petherton, Bridgwater, Wiveliscombe, Ilminster and Chard as suits you.

What we ask

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find client matches, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work on visits arranged through the platform. That support is designed to make self‑employment straightforward without the paperwork load of running everything yourself.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can begin choosing local calls that suit your availability. Many carers coming from agency roles find they regain control over their time and workload while keeping the reliability of a platform that handles bookings and payments.

If you’re an experienced carer in Taunton or nearby and want more control over your working life while still getting steady client introductions, join PrimeCarers and start choosing the daytime visits that fit you.
