Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Huddersfield who want dementia support at home. If you prefer helping people remain in familiar surroundings, keeping to routines and working patiently one-to-one, this is a way to build a sustainable, flexible day-to-day care service in Huddersfield and the surrounding area. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work is about relationship, routine and small, meaningful tasks: supporting morning or evening routines, prompting medication, companionship during activities, guidance at mealtimes, and reassuring presence during changes in mood or memory. You’ll work with people in their own homes across Huddersfield and nearby towns such as Dommoc, Elland, Brighouse, Mirfield, Meltham and Holmfirth, and other parts of West Yorkshire.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Many carers use the platform for regular daytime visits or a mix of shorter companionship calls and longer visits. Typical roles show rates around £18.50–£20 per hour. You can also list whether you offer hourly care (see £18.50–£20 per hour) or live-in day support (see £145–£160 per day).

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork, while staying independent of traditional agencies. If you want to stop taking matches at any time, that choice is yours.

  • Who this suits: skilled carers with at least a year of professional experience in health or social care, patient communicators who prefer one-to-one support, and people ready to work flexibly around clients’ routines. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work for more control over your day, PrimeCarers is built for that move.
  • Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly and securely.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you’re active, PrimeCarers sends suitable client matches and supports the paperwork, contracts and payments so you can concentrate on good dementia care in Huddersfield. If you already work around Huddersfield and want more control over shifts and clients, this is a straightforward next step. West Yorkshire families need reliable, experienced carers — if that’s you, set up your profile today and start choosing the work you want in Huddersfield.
