Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers in Ormskirk with families who need daytime hourly home care. Typical visits include personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication prompts, companionship and running small errands. This work suits carers who prefer short afternoon, morning or mid-day calls rather than long shifts in a residential setting, and who want to keep control of their diary while working locally in Lancashire.
Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers on the platform charge within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly home care, and you can list the times you’re available and the distances you’re willing to travel. You remain self-employed: you decide which visits to accept and when to work.
The role involves reliable, compassionate daytime visits: helping with washing and dressing, supporting mobility, preparing hot meals, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, and helping with shopping or light errands. You’ll often support people who want to stay independent at home in Ormskirk and nearby areas such as Newburgh, Maghull, Skelmersdale, Kirkby, Rainford and Appley.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. We don’t ask for long contracts or exclusivity — you remain free to work when and where you choose.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the paperwork: contracts, invoicing and payments are managed through the platform, and public liability insurance is included while you work through the service. That means less admin for you and clearer, timely payments for the care you provide.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and preferences, submit your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From that point you can be contacted by families in Ormskirk and across Lancashire who need reliable daytime carers.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you’re an experienced carer ready to take control of your hours and rates while still having admin and client-finding support, create your PrimeCarers profile and start connecting with local families in Ormskirk today.
