Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed companion carers with families across Kirkbymoorside and the surrounding area. If you enjoy conversation, local outings, supporting hobbies and providing light help around the home to give someone company and reassurance, this is an ongoing way to build your own diary in North Yorkshire while keeping control of your working life.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Companionship care here typically includes: spending time chatting and sharing memories, joining clients on short walks or local trips, supporting hobbies or crafts, helping with light household tasks like making drinks or tidying, and giving reassurance to someone who wants company rather than personal care. Visits are often one-to-three hours but the mix of visits and activities is set by you and the families you choose to work with in Kirkbymoorside and nearby towns such as Helmsley, Pickering, Malton, Norton on Derwent, Thornton Hill and Easingwold.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this sort of work are £15–£25 per hour, and you remain in control of how many shifts you take.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you are working with a client. That means less admin and more time doing the job you enjoy in and around Kirkbymoorside.
This route is especially good for carers who are used to agency work but want more flexibility and fairness: you decide the rate, the hours and which clients you’ll accept. Many of our carers in Kirkbymoorside and across North Yorkshire balance these companion shifts with family life or other commitments while keeping their professional standards high.
Applying takes minutes. You create a profile, upload or request verification of references and checks, and once verified profiles typically go live within days. We’ll introduce you to families who match your skills and availability so you can choose the offers that fit your life.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Kirkbymoorside rather than one specific role. If you have questions about the type of visits, the paperwork or how payments work, our team is here to help during your application.
