Description

If you’re an experienced carer in York who prefers hands-on, daytime home visits, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families needing support with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. You’ll work in people’s homes across York and the surrounding parts of North Yorkshire, including Haxby, Tadcaster, Easingwold, Selby, Wetherby and Pocklington.

Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, self-employed work offering real control over your diary. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit them best. Typical rates sit at £18.80–£20.20 per hour, and you can pick visits around school runs, appointments or other commitments to create a realistic work pattern that fits your life.

What the role involves: daytime hourly home care visits, usually lasting from 30 minutes to a few hours. You’ll support adults with tasks such as personal care, bathing and toileting, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication where required by the family’s preference, companionship and light errands. Visits are arranged with families that match your skills and availability — PrimeCarers introduces the connections and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who want more autonomy than agency shifts allow. If you’re used to doing great one-to-one care and want to shape your own caseload across York and nearby areas, this is a practical route to keep delivering quality support while running your own small care business.

Requirements to join are clear and straightforward:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable references from recent care roles.

PrimeCarers does not employ you — you operate as self-employed. We will find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance during the time you’re working with a family. Applying takes minutes and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days.

To apply, create a profile, upload your DBS and references (or ask us for help arranging checks), and tell us the hours and area you want to work in. Expect to start seeing suitable local matches around York soon after verification.

If you’re ready to keep delivering excellent home care while running your own schedule across York and parts of North Yorkshire, PrimeCarers makes the admin easier so you can focus on care.
