Typical hourly home care tasks include helping with personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), preparing meals and drinks, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, light domestic tasks and shopping or appointment runs.

This approach suits experienced care workers who want control over their working day. If you’re thinking of moving away from agencies, PrimeCarers lets you stay self-employed: you set your own rate and choose which clients, hours and service area to accept. Many carers in Rawtenstall and nearby towns like Haslingden, Ramsbottom, Bacup, Accrington, Oswaldtwistle and Whitworth use the platform to balance work and life while keeping high-quality one-to-one care at the centre of what they do.

Pay is flexible because you set your own price, with typical roles matching local expectations of £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable local leads quickly.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies these checks to protect clients and carers alike. We’re honest about what’s required and support you through the checks so joining is straightforward.
