This type of work suits carers who value variety and control. If you’re used to agency routines but want to set your own schedule and rates, PrimeCarers lets you choose which families to work with, which hours to accept and the service area you cover.

Work in Dommoc and the surrounding areas including Holmfirth, Meltham, Huddersfield, Elland, Mirfield and Brighouse. You’ll often be supporting older people, adults with learning disabilities or short-term post-hospital care. Tasks vary by family but usually include personal care, meal support, companionship, light domestic tasks and liaising with relatives. Respite work can be a few hours or stretch to overnight or multi-day stays when families need extra time.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed, set your own terms and keep control of your diary. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload or request help with your DBS and references, and we’ll verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing the respite shifts that suit you across West Yorkshire. If you’re based in Dommoc, or travel regularly from Huddersfield or Holmfirth, this is a straightforward way to move away from agency patterns while keeping steady, local work.
