Description
Looking for daytime hourly care work in Newburgh that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need short visits for personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and local errands. You’ll visit people in their own homes across Newburgh and the surrounding area, offering supportive, respectful care that helps people stay independent.
Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single adverted position. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many of our carers find they can increase the quality of care they give — and their work-life balance — by taking control of when and where they accept visits.
Typical daytime shifts are hourly visits focused on personal care tasks such as washing and dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders and small errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. You’ll usually be supporting people who live at home and need regular, reliable help during the day. Newburgh clients often look for experienced, kind carers who can build routine and trust.
Pay is set by you; many carers choose rates within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support needed. PrimeCarers handles the contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
We ask that applicants have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You don’t need to give up any current work first — you can add Newburgh visits around existing commitments and expand as you wish.
PrimeCarers works across Lancashire and nearby towns including Appley, Skelmersdale, Ormskirk, Rainford, Wigan and Adlington. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. After that, we match you with local families and you decide which visits to accept.
If you’re ready for more control over your hours and the people you support in Newburgh, it’s quick to get started. Create a profile, upload your checks and references, and begin choosing daytime hourly visits that suit your life and your values.
