This work suits experienced, hands-on carers who want the freedom to pick when and where they work. Many of the carers who join PrimeCarers are leaving agency life because they want to set their own terms: set your own rates, pick clients you want to support and choose the hours that fit your life. Typical pay for this kind of role is £18.80–£20 per hour, and you can also see £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day cover when relevant.

Keighley is at the heart of our local community — whether you’re based in the town or travel from Silsden, Bingley, Denholme, Ilkley, Thornton or Shipley, you’ll find suitable short-term and weekend work. Working through PrimeCarers, you’ll benefit from an easy booking flow: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re on a booked shift. That support lets you focus on care, not paperwork.

To join you’ll need 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. If you already have these in place, the sign-up is quick. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want weekend and respite shifts, respite specialists who enjoy short engagements, and those who need flexible hours around family or other work. You’ll be providing companionship, personal care, medication prompts, mobility support and short-term household assistance as agreed with each family. You choose which tasks you’re happy to carry out and which clients to accept.
