Description
Looking for daytime visiting carer work in and around Weymouth? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need reliable hourly support at home — personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and short errands. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area, and you set your own rates. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This type of work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You’ll usually be making scheduled daytime visits to help with washing and dressing, mobility support, mealtimes and household tasks that keep someone living safely at home. Many carers who join PrimeCarers appreciate the variety: short calls to support independence, longer morning or afternoon visits and occasional same‑day errands.
Pay and practical details are flexible. Typical rates for visiting care are £15–£25 per hour and you decide the exact hourly rate you offer. You’ll see listings that refer to £15–£25 per hour and occasional longer day patterns denoted by £145–£163.50 per day. Remember these are typical ranges; as a self‑employed carer you set what you charge and choose which requests to accept.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. PrimeCarers also handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work on the platform, so you can focus on caring rather than administration.
PrimeCarers supports carers working across Weymouth and nearby areas such as Chickerell, Portland, Dorchester, Bridport, Wareham and Beaminster. We advertise ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role, so you can build the pattern of work that fits your life in Dorset and beyond. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable requests quickly.
If you’re an experienced visiting carer who wants more choice and clearer paperwork without the usual agency constraints, create your profile today. You’ll keep control of when and where you work, who you accept, and how much you charge — while PrimeCarers helps with the rest.
