Description
If you’re an experienced carer in Goole who understands that patience, routine and familiar surroundings help people living with dementia thrive at home, PrimeCarers can connect you directly with local families. As a self-employed carer you choose who you work with and set your own rates — many carers on the platform charge between £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support needed. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work focuses on supporting people with dementia to stay safe and comfortable at home: maintaining familiar daily routines, prompting and assisting with personal care, companionship, medication prompts, helping with light household tasks and liaising with families. Shifts vary; some carers support short regular calls while others provide longer visits or household continuity. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single job listing.
Goole-based carers often cover nearby areas too, including Howden, Snaith, Crowle, Thorne, Selby and Stainforth. Many people who choose PrimeCarers are experienced carers moving away from agency models — you’ll keep the hands-on care you value but with more control over who you support, when you work and the rates you charge. Work across Goole and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire without giving up the professional standards you’ve built.
What we handle for you: PrimeCarers finds the clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments. While you are working, insurance is included. What we need from you: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Who this suits: carers with dementia experience who value routine, patience and continuity; people who prefer one-to-one home support over task-only shifts.
- Pay & flexibility: set your own fees and choose your hours and service area. Typical care rates on the platform sit between £18.80–£20 per hour.
- Onboarding: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
