Description
Hourly home care in Ware supporting older adults and people with lived experience to stay comfortable and independent at home. Daytime visits typically include personal care, help with meals, medication prompts, companionship and short errands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can focus on the kind of care you prefer. Right now, 81 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This role suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. While you’re working through the platform, insurance is included for the time you are providing care.
Rates vary by the care required and your experience. Typical pay is shown as £18.80–£20 per hour; specifically, standard hourly bookings are usually within £18.80–£20 per hour, and live-in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day where applicable. Remember that as a self-employed carer you set your own rates and can accept only the offers that suit you.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the admin so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf and make sure you’re covered while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain in control of which clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you serve across Ware and surrounding towns such as Hertford, Hoddesdon, Broxbourne, Harlow, Sawbridgeworth and Cheshunt.
