Private Carer Jobs in Garstang

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Garstang and the surrounding area. These are hourly home care opportunities — daytime visits supporting adults with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light errands in their own homes. You’ll work directly with families and help people remain independent where they feel safest.

Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control, this model is for you. As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you’ll accept. Many carers working in Garstang prefer to plan daytime visits that fit around family life or second work. You can cover Garstang itself or nearby towns such as Broughton, Preesall, Longridge, Wesham, Medlar with Wesham and Kirkham — all within Lancashire and the surrounding districts.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts and issues invoices on your behalf, and collects payments so you don’t have to chase families. While you’re working with a client through the platform, insurance is included. That paperwork and admin support is designed to free you to do what you do best: caring.

Typical rates for this kind of daytime hourly care sit around £18.80–£21.30 per hour, but as a self-employed carer you decide what to charge based on your experience and availability. We won’t promise patterns or income, but we will help you connect with families and manage bookings so you can build the work you want.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll walk you through a short verification process and publish your profile once checks are complete — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want flexibility, more choice over who they support and fewer layers of agency administration. You’ll be making daytime home visits in Garstang, meeting families, delivering personal care with dignity, helping with meals and medication prompts, and running short errands when needed.

How to apply: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and complete the brief checks. Once verified you’ll be able to view and accept local care requests. If you’re ready to step away from agency routines and take control of your hours in Garstang and Lancashire, sign up and start building your own client list.
