Description
Hourly home care in Tunstall: daytime visits supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency constraints while staying local to Tunstall and the Stoke-on-Trent area. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you choose who you work for, when you work and the area you cover. Many carers in Tunstall set visits from 30 minutes to a few hours during the day, helping with washing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, shopping or collecting prescriptions — all the kind of practical, compassionate support people prefer at home. You manage your diary and can accept or decline clients to fit your life.
Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates. Typical rates on the platform are £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly home care, and you decide where within Tunstall and surrounding towns you’ll travel. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
This work suits reliable, experienced carers who enjoy one-to-one support and building relationships. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask about your skills, availability and the areas you want to cover; many carers list Tunstall as their base and also accept work close to Burslem, Kidsgrove, Hanley Grange, Newcastle under Lyme, Stoke on Trent and Biddulph.
PrimeCarers is not an employer — you operate as self-employed and run your own care offering. We do the admin so you can focus on care: we introduce clients, provide the contract framework, collect payments and transfer them to you, and include insurance cover while you’re working on assignments found through the platform.
If you’re used to agency life but want clearer control over pay, clients and hours in Tunstall, this is a straightforward switch. Create a short profile, upload references and DBS details (or request help with a new check), and set the days and times you want to work. You can be selective about clients and keep the kind of daytime, hourly care that suits your strengths.
