If you prefer hourly daytime visits — helping people at home with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and local errands — this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Howden and the East Riding of Yorkshire. You’ll choose the clients, hours and service area you want; PrimeCarers finds the clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical work is short daytime calls and clear, repeatable tasks: washing and dressing, toileting support, preparing hot or chilled meals, prompting and administering medication where appropriate, shopping or collecting prescriptions and companionship for someone who prefers to stay at home. Most carers do several one- to two-hour visits a day, though you can build a pattern that suits you.

This is a good fit if you have at least one year’s professional care experience and want to move away from agency-style rotas. Many carers in Howden value the control — you set your own rate and availability, choose which clients to accept and manage your diary locally. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and can expect the market to fall around £18.50–£20 per hour for this kind of hourly care, depending on your experience and the care required.

To join you’ll need: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork — we draw up client contracts, invoice and process payments on your behalf and provide insurance cover while you’re working on a visit.

We cover Howden and nearby communities including Goole, Snaith, Selby, Crowle, Thorne and South Cave so you can focus on local clients. Creating a profile takes minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days. This listing is for ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post: you’ll be offered client matches that meet your availability and preferences.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over your hours, rates and clients in Howden, PrimeCarers is built for that next step. Apply in minutes to get started — set up your profile, verify your checks and begin reviewing local matches in and around Howden.
