Work on your terms: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area they want. Many carers use the platform to offer short daytime visits — helping with washing and dressing, supporting with meals, prompting medication and doing small shopping or errands. The typical rate for this kind of role is £15–£25 per hour, and you decide where within that band you sit.

This kind of work suits experienced, practical people who prefer one-to-one care in familiar surroundings. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over where and when you work, moving to self-employed hourly visits can give you steadier daytime routines and clearer time for travel, family or other commitments in Whitby and across North Yorkshire.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, do invoicing and take care of payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform. You remain self-employed at all times and are free to accept or decline any client or shift offered.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. We don’t advertise one specific post here — we promote ongoing self-employed opportunities across Whitby and nearby areas.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can review client requests, agree visits and set your schedule. If you want predictable daytime hours helping people stay independent at home, PrimeCarers could be the simple route to make that change.
