Day‑time hourly work commonly sits around £18.80–£19.80 per hour, and live‑in day rates are typically £145–£160 per day. You decide which jobs fit your availability and the level of support you want to provide.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We prepare contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means less admin and clearer, on‑time payments when you support people in Shipley, elsewhere in Bradford district and across West Yorkshire.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the freedom to build trusting relationships in a way that suits them and the families they support.

Typical day‑to‑day tasks might include:

• Personal care – supporting with washing, dressing and continence with dignity and respect.
• Practical tasks – preparing meals, light domestic help and supporting safe mobility.
• Emotional support – providing companionship, conversation and engaging activities that follow familiar routines.
