Working through PrimeCarers means you remain self-employed: you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide your service area. Many carers use this flexibility to fit weekend or short-stay respite around other commitments. Typical local rates sit around £18.60–£20 per hour, but you set your own price and can adjust it as you gain regular clients.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value variety and autonomy — people who have the confidence to step into different homes, support family carers with a reliable break, and keep continuity of care. You may be supporting someone through social time and activities, assisting with personal care, helping with light household tasks or providing companionship during an important few days away for a family carer.

What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients for you, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. That means less admin for you and more time focusing on care in Stokesley and other nearby towns such as Ingleby Barwick, Eston, Thornaby on Tees, Guisborough, Yarm and Eaglescliffe.

• Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Self-employed benefits: choose your clients, hours and area; set the rates that work for you.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification — simple, direct and built for carers who want more control than agency work. If you live in Stokesley or elsewhere in North Yorkshire and want to offer respite cover at weekends or for short stays, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started and be matched with families who need what you offer.
