Visiting Carer Jobs in Wells

Make a living as a visiting carer in Wells, providing hourly daytime home care: personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands for people who prefer to stay at home. You’ll be helping people stay independent in their own environment while working on terms that suit you. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of work is for experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts typically allow. You’ll visit clients in their homes for planned daytime calls — everything from helping with washing and dressing to preparing meals, supporting prescribed medication routines and running local errands. Visits are usually hourly and discrete, so you can build a diary that fits family life or other commitments in Wells and the surrounding area of Somerset.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates are in the range £19.20–£24 per hour and you can pick the work that fits your lifestyle. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments. While you work, insurance is included. That means less admin, clearer payments and more time doing what you do best.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced carers: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently, managing short visits and keeping accurate records for each client.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days.
