Private Carer Jobs in Ilkley

We’re looking for experienced self-employed carers in Ilkley to provide hourly home care — daytime visits helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. You’ll support clients who want to stay independent at home, working visits that suit your life and skills. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves: daytime, hourly home care across Ilkley and nearby areas. Visits typically include personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), supporting meal preparation, prompting or administering medication where trained to do so, companionship and short errands such as shopping or pharmacy collections. Work is with people in their own homes in Ilkley and the wider West Yorkshire area, and you can choose the types of visits you accept.

Who this suits: you’re already an experienced carer — perhaps thinking of moving away from agency routines and wanting more control over when and where you work. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK, this platform is designed for you. PrimeCarers supports independent carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families in Ilkley, Silsden, Keighley, Bingley, Baildon, Otley and Guiseley via Silsden, Keighley, Bingley, Baildon, Otley and Guiseley.

How pay and flexibility work: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical roles on this platform sit in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, but you decide the hourly rate you offer, the hours you accept and the service area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on assignments booked through the platform.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We verify documents and references before your profile goes live so families can book with confidence.

There’s no single advertised shift here — this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities in Ilkley rather than one specific role. Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and request or upload your DBS. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start hearing from families quickly.
