These roles are for self-employed carers who want control over their working life. You choose your clients, the hours you work and the area you cover in and around Driffield. Many carers like the variety: a morning call to share a cup of tea and chat, an afternoon walk to the market, or an evening hobby session with a client who enjoys knitting or photography. If you currently work agency shifts but crave more say over who you support and when, this is a practical alternative that keeps the care at the centre.

Pay is flexible because carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates. Typical pay for companionship care is £19–£20 per hour depending on the hours and the support needed. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and manages contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed and in control.

This sort of work suits experienced carers who are patient, sociable and reliable. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it). We’re looking for people who enjoy building rapport and who can offer calm reassurance to clients in their own homes.

Opportunities are available across Driffield and nearby towns such as Beswick, Bridlington, Beverley, Hornsea, Market Weighton and Pocklington. You can accept short visits or longer companion shifts; many carers mix a few local clients into a weekly rota that fits their life. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be meeting clients across the East Riding of Yorkshire soon.

How it works: create a profile, confirm your references and DBS, then choose the clients and times that suit you. PrimeCarers supports carers with client introductions, contract paperwork and prompt payments so you can focus on the care itself.
