Description

Join PrimeCarers to offer hourly daytime home care in and around Kirkby Lonsdale. You’ll visit people in their own homes to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and short errands. This is for carers who want hands-on, meaningful visits with flexibility and autonomy. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Visits are typically daytime and focused on keeping people comfortable, safe and independent at home. Tasks often include: aiding with personal care, preparing or supervising meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the client, supporting mobility around the house and running short errands. Work suits experienced carers who value continuity and time with clients rather than tightly timed task lists. Many of our carers cover Kirkby Lonsdale and nearby towns such as Wennington, Bentham, Milnthorpe, Carnforth, Sedbergh and Kendal.

As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own rates and choose who you work with, which hours to accept and the area you cover. Typical rates for visiting care fall in £19–£21.30 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work so you can focus on care rather than admin.

This set-up suits carers leaving agency routines who want more control over the way they work. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We run checks and verifications to protect clients and carers across Cumbria and the local area.

Applying takes minutes and your profile usually goes live within days of verification, so you can begin choosing shifts and clients quickly. Remember this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role — every match is made between you and the families you choose to support in Kirkby Lonsdale and beyond.
