The work typically involves supporting personal care, prompting medications, helping with meals, keeping to routines, engaging with calming activities and offering steady companionship.

You may also help with light domestic tasks, escorting to day centres or appointments and keeping clear notes for families.

This platform is built for people who want autonomy. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£21 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who prize continuity, patient communication and the chance to build trusting relationships. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over your day, or if you already deliver dementia support and prefer working in familiar homes across Clitheroe and surrounding areas, this could fit. Many carers travel between nearby towns including Downham, Padiham, Great Harwood, Clayton le Moors, Brierfield and Nelson to support local families.

To join you need at least one year of 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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
