Description

Are you an experienced carer in Burnley looking for more control over the clients you visit, the hours you work and what you charge? PrimeCarers lists ongoing self‑employed opportunities for visiting carers who provide daytime home support — help with personal care, meals, medication and errands — so you can work how you want around your life.
Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Visiting care on PrimeCarers suits people who want the variety of community work but not the limits of agency rotas. You’ll typically support people in their own homes for short daytime visits. Work can include personal care, prompting medication, preparing meals, light domestic tasks, companionship and shopping or appointment runs. You’ll decide which clients to accept, the area you cover in and around Burnley and the hours you take on.

Pay is set by you as a self‑employed carer; most carers on the platform work within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support needed. You can offer hourly visits or block day rates when appropriate. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work with a client.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value flexibility: people leaving agency shifts for steadier daytime calls, those who want a clearer work–life balance, and carers who prefer building direct relationships with clients in Burnley and nearby towns such as Brierfield, Padiham, Nelson, Colne, Bacup and Accrington.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once live, you can set your own £18.50–£20 per hour or £145–£160 per day where relevant, choose who to work with, and manage your diary directly. PrimeCarers remains in the background handling the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care and building trust with clients across Burnley and parts of Lancashire.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and keep doing the hands‑on, person‑centred care you love, creating a profile is the next step. It’s straightforward, supportive and built for self‑employed carers who want honest flexibility and control.
