Description
Work as an hourly care assistant visiting people in their own homes across Broughton and the surrounding area.

Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose your clients, set your own hours and define the area you cover. Many carers who join us leave agency rota work because they want predictable daytime visits and more control. Typical pay for this kind of work is £18.80–£21.30 per hour and you decide your own rate for each client and visit.
This kind of hourly home care is practical and varied. Visits can include personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), daily living tasks like preparing meals, prompting or assisting with medication, and short errands such as shopping or post. You’ll spend quality time with people, building routines and relationships rather than rapid task-only visits.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce clients to you, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. You’ll still be self-employed, but with the back-office support that frees up your time. You can cover Broughton and nearby towns including Preston, Penwortham, Longridge, Kirkham, Garstang and Wesham to find clients that fit the hours and distance you prefer.
To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references to keep families and carers safe. Many carers switching from agency work find this straightforward and appreciate being trusted to manage their own diary in Broughton and across Lancashire.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your checks and references and tell us the hours and area you want to work. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain in control of which introductions you accept. If you’re ready to leave shift uncertainty behind and build reliable daytime visiting work, PrimeCarers makes it possible without the usual agency constraints.
