Description

If you're an experienced visiting carer based in Wiveliscombe and want more control over your work, this could suit you. These daytime, hourly home care roles involve personal care, help with getting dressed, bathing, meal preparation, prompting or administering medication, companionship and short errands for people in their own homes. You’ll visit multiple clients during the day and provide reliable, respectful support in familiar surroundings.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Typical visits are hourly home care calls during daytime rather than live-in arrangements. Work often includes helping with personal care, preparing hot meals and drinks, supporting medication routines and running local errands or appointments. This sort of visiting care suits experienced carers who enjoy practical, person-centred support, and who want to build relationships while keeping a flexible daytime pattern that fits family life or other commitments in Wiveliscombe and the surrounding area.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rate and choose which clients, hours and service area you take on. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the extra control without the admin. We work with carers around Wiveliscombe and nearby towns such as Wellington, Taunton, Watchet, Dulverton, Kilton and Tiverton to match local availability and preferences.

Pay and practical detail: rates vary by experience, client needs and travel. Typical visits for visiting carers fall within £18.80–£21 per hour, but you choose the rate that reflects your skills and the support required. If you’re interested in live‑in or specialist packages, other rate ranges apply and can be discussed with families through the platform.

To join you need at least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. We verify documents and references to protect carers and families alike.

Applying only takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and our team verifies your documents. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing clients and booking daytime visits that suit you in Wiveliscombe and across Somerset. If you’re ready for more control over your work and the chance to build your own client list, join PrimeCarers and keep caring on your terms.
