Description
If you want daytime visiting care work around Boroughbridge that fits your life, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families. You’ll provide personal care, help with meals, support with medication and run errands during short daytime visits in people’s own homes. You decide which clients to accept, the hours you want and the area you work in, including around Boroughbridge and nearby communities.
Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency rostering allows. You’ll be visiting clients for hourly home care, often helping with washing, dressing, meal preparation, prompting or administering medication when needed, companionship and light errands. Many carers also support people with reduced mobility or early dementia through practical encouragement and familiar routine. Boroughbridge is a tight-knit community and being local can make a big difference to continuity of care.
Pay and flexibility are central. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, so you choose what to charge within the local market. Typical rates for this role are £18.80–£22.70 per hour. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We also expect a professional, compassionate approach and the ability to work independently. If you’re used to agency life but want different hours or more say over who you visit, this model gives you choice while keeping administrative support in the background.
Work can be found across Boroughbridge and the surrounding area including Ripon, Knaresborough, Easingwold, Thornton Hill, Thirsk and Harrogate. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to accept visits that suit your diary and to build ongoing relationships with families if you wish.
If this sounds like the next step for you, create a profile, upload a couple of references and let PrimeCarers handle the formalities. You’ll keep control of your hours and rates, with practical support for contracts, invoicing and payment processing so your focus stays on delivering great care in North Yorkshire.
