Description

Are you an experienced carer in Dewsbury who enjoys conversation, outings and making someone’s day brighter? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who mainly need companionship and reassurance — tea-time chats, local trips, hobbies and light help around the home. You’ll choose the clients and hours that suit you across Dewsbury and nearby areas.
Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What companionship work looks like: gentle conversation, accompanying someone to a café or a local group, supporting hobbies, short walks and reassurance around the home. Tasks are light and social rather than clinical — often the most valuable thing you bring is time, patience and companionship.

Who this suits: carers who prefer relationship-based support over clinical tasks; people leaving agency rotas for more control; those who want predictable, local work in Dewsbury and the wider area of West Yorkshire. If you enjoy getting to know someone and keeping them connected with their community, this role will suit you.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for this kind of work are £18.50–£19.50 per hour. You pick the hours, the clients and your service area — whether you want regular daytime visits, a few short calls a week or weekend companionship. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 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’ll walk you through verification so profiles typically go live within days.

  • How you keep your independence: you remain self-employed, set your own rates, accept only the clients you want and control your diary.
  • How PrimeCarers supports you: we find clients, manage contracts and payments, and include insurance while you are working.
  • Local opportunities: many families in Dewsbury and surrounding towns such as Batley, Heckmondwike, Ossett, Mirfield, Cleckheaton and Morley are looking for companionship-focused care.
  • Quick to apply: applying takes minutes and profiles usually go live within days of verification.
