Private Carer Jobs in Leeds

Work as a self‑employed private carer visiting people in their own homes across Leeds and West Yorkshire. These daytime, hourly home care roles focus on personal care, meal support, medication prompts and light errands — offering companionship and practical help that keeps people independent at home. This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific role.

Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical tasks you’ll do include:

• Personal care: help with washing, dressing and continence support tailored to the person’s needs.
• Meals and nutrition: prepare meals, support eating and follow dietary plans.
• Medication prompts: remind and assist with medication according to instructions (you will not be administering medication beyond what is allowed).
• Errands and practical help: shopping, appointments, light domestic tasks and companionship.

If you’re used to agency work but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you choose your clients, hours and service area — you set your own rates and work pattern. Many carers in Leeds set rates within £18.80–£20 per hour and pick daytime visits that fit family life. You can accept work in the city centre or around nearby towns such as Morley, Horsforth, Farsley, Pudsey, Garforth and Batley.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. The application takes minutes; once your documents are verified your profile typically goes live within days.

PrimeCarers support means we find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work on assignments found through the platform. You remain self‑employed — choosing who you work for and when — while benefiting from the admin and protections the platform provides across Leeds and West Yorkshire.

We’re looking for reliable, compassionate carers who value clear communication and practical skills. If you prefer daytime hourly visits that make a real difference, PrimeCarers offers flexibility without the paperwork headaches of running your own wholly separate business.

Ready to apply? It only takes a few minutes to create a profile. Upload your documents, confirm references and start seeing client matches. Many carers are working within days of verification and managing their own diaries from there.

If you want more control over your hours and the clients you accept in Leeds, this could be the next step in your care career.
