Private Carer Jobs in Wellington

Looking for daytime hourly home care work in Wellington that puts you back in control? On PrimeCarers you’ll be matched with families who need help with personal care, preparing meals, medication prompts and local errands — all in the client’s own home. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities are ideal if you prefer meaningful, one-to-one visits rather than block shifts. Many carers who move to PrimeCarers do daytime calls of an hour or two, supporting older people or adults with long-term conditions to stay independent at home in Wellington and the surrounding area, including Taunton, Wiveliscombe, Cullompton, North Petherton, Honiton and Tiverton. You’ll be self-employed, choose your clients, decide when you work and set your own rates. Typical pay sits in the range £18.80–£22.50 per hour depending on the client and the level of support needed.

PrimeCarers finds the clients and takes care of the practical bits that can slow you down: contracts, invoicing and payments are handled for you, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their time and the people they support. You must have the right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it. We also look for a professional approach to records and safe practice during visits.

Typical day-to-day duties in Wellington include personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), meal preparation, medication prompts, light domestic tasks and short errands. You choose the distance you’ll travel and the hours you take on, so daytime-only patterns are common for many carers.

Ready to get started? Create a profile in minutes, upload your references and DBS, and tell us the times and area you want to work in. Once verified, your profile will usually go live within days and PrimeCarers will start introducing suitable families. If you’re an experienced carer in Wellington or nearby and ready for more autonomy, this is a straightforward way to make the move.
