Description
You’ll be providing daytime, hourly home care in clients’ own homes across Thirsk and surrounding parts of North Yorkshire — helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. These are visiting carer roles for people who prefer short calls and flexible daytime work rather than long shifts.
Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families, so you control what you take on: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and your service area. Typical rates for visiting care sit around £19–£23 per hour; for more detail you may see hourly care listings showing £19–£23 per hour and live-in day ranges displayed as £145–£160 per day. If you’re used to agency rotas but want more control over how and when you work in Thirsk, this is designed for you.
The work suits experienced carers who enjoy focused, daytime visits — personal care, support with meals and mobility, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, companionship and short errands. Many carers value being able to build long-term relationships with a few families rather than floating between many long shifts. You’ll often find opportunities across town and out towards Northallerton, Thornton Hill, Easingwold, Boroughbridge, Ripon and Bedale.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange or advise on this. Because carers on the platform are self-employed, you’re free to agree your own terms with families and manage your diary the way you want.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working with a booked family. Applying takes minutes — profiles typically go live within days of verification — so you can move from enrolling to visiting clients in Thirsk quickly if you choose.
