Description

Are you a caring professional based in Garforth looking to move away from agency constraints? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed private carers with families who need daytime, hourly home care — visits to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands in people’s own homes across Garforth and the surrounding area.
Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties on an hourly home care role include:

  • Personal care such as washing, dressing and continence support;
  • Meal preparation and help with eating;
  • Prompting or administering medication where appropriate;
  • Shopping, collecting prescriptions and light errands;
  • Companionship and supporting daily routines to help people stay independent at home.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want more control over how they work in Garforth and nearby towns such as Castleford, Normanton, Sherburn in Elmet, Leeds, Pontefract and Featherstone. You’ll be self‑employed, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates — many carers list within £18.80–£20 per hour once they’re established. Working through PrimeCarers is a different way of working if you’re used to agency schedules but want to keep delivering high quality care in West Yorkshire.

How PrimeCarers supports you: we find families and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on care while we take care of the paperwork that usually ties up your time.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t list specific shifts here — this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single job — but carers commonly take short daytime visits and build regular rounds to suit their availability.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days so families can find you. If you live in Garforth and want to work locally, set your own hours and keep more control over your working life, PrimeCarers makes it easy to get started.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and keep giving great care in Garforth and across West Yorkshire, start your profile today — it only takes a few minutes to apply and be seen by families looking for reliable, experienced carers.
