If you already have at least a year of professional care experience and want to move away from agency life, this is ongoing work you can shape around your life in Thornbury and the wider South Gloucestershire area. You’ll visit people in their own homes for short daytime calls, helping with washing and dressing, meal preparation, prompting or administering medication, shopping and light errands, and companionship.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls within £18.80–£23 per hour and you decide what you charge within local expectations. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This work suits experienced carers who want flexibility: choose morning, afternoon or flexible daytime visits that fit your week. You’ll usually be doing single‑visit calls rather than long shifts, which keeps travel and scheduling straightforward. Many carers on the platform work in Thornbury and nearby towns such as Woodhouse Park, Bradley Stoke, Wickwar, Patchway, Yate and Berkeley.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. We verify references and checks to protect clients and carers alike.

Applications take minutes. Create a profile, attach your documents and references, and once we’ve verified your checks your profile typically goes live within days. After that PrimeCarers will introduce clients who match your preferences and you can accept or decline each opportunity — you stay in control.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Thornbury and surrounding areas, not a single fixed post. If you’d like more information or want to start, the sign‑up takes minutes and we’ll guide you through the checks and next steps.
