Description
Hourly home care in Colburn means daytime visits to support people who live independently. Typical tasks include personal care, preparing meals, prompting or supporting medication, companionship and helping with shopping or errands. You’ll be working with people in their own homes across Colburn and the surrounding area, offering reliable, respectful care on terms that suit you.
Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and can expect the kind of daytime, hourly visits many families need. Typical rates fall within £18.50–£20 per hour — you decide the exact figure for each job.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. You’ll still be running your own business: you pick which referrals to accept and build a diary that fits your life.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it.
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Reliability, kindness and an ability to work independently in people’s homes across Colburn and nearby towns including Leyburn, Bedale, Middleham, Masham, Northallerton and Denton North East.
This is ongoing work rather than a single job: you’ll see multiple, hourly care opportunities that you can accept or decline. Many carers who move from agencies choose this route because it offers more autonomy without the admin headaches. You remain self-employed and are free to combine shifts as you like.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families and you’ll decide which matches to accept. If you want to discuss local demand, shift types or how payments work we’re here to help — Colburn and the wider North Yorkshire area have steady needs for reliable daytime carers.
