This is ongoing self‑employed work across Totnes and the surrounding area of Devon. Visits are typically short daytime calls or longer support sessions depending on the client’s needs.

Pay and flexibility. You set the rate you charge families and keep control of how much you work. Typical rates for this kind of hourly home care are £18.80–£23 per hour.
