Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Barnoldswick who need daytime, hourly support at home. You'd be helping people with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running light errands — all in clients' own homes across Barnoldswick and nearby communities. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work, not a single role. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit them. Typical work falls within £18.80–£20.50 per hour depending on experience, duties and the hours you take. You remain in control of when and where you work in and around Barnoldswick, including areas towards Colne, Downham, Nelson, Brierfield, Skipton and Burnley.

Daily visits are the focus: short, meaningful daytime calls that help people live safely and comfortably at home. Many families want continuity and reliable, experienced carers who can build rapport and support personal routines. If you are used to agency life but want more say over your days, this model gives you that choice while PrimeCarers handles the admin side.

PrimeCarers finds clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf. Insurance is included while you are working through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. You must have at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you need a DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one.

Applying takes minutes. You create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers verifies the details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which you can start choosing bookings that fit your schedule in Barnoldswick and across Lancashire.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who value flexibility, want to set their own rates and prefer short daytime visits rather than live‑in or shift-based roles.
