Job Description
Families in Holmfirth and across Kirklees are looking for experienced private carers for daytime visits: help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, errands and getting out and about.
This is ongoing, self-employed work through PrimeCarers, not a single vacancy.
Right now, 19 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Pay: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates.
For this kind of work, carers in the catchment around Holmfirth typically charge £18.50–£20 per hour (hourly care locally runs at £18.50–£20 per hour, and live-in placements at £145–£160 per day).
You keep control of your rate, and we never set it for you.
How it works: PrimeCarers is an introductory platform, not an agency.
We find you clients in Holmfirth and Honley, Dommoc, Meltham, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield and Penistone and handle contracts, invoicing and payments.
For visits booked through PrimeCarers we arrange insurance, within the policy's terms: it does not cover clinical procedures, or tasks you have not been trained for, so read the policy before you rely on it.
You choose your clients, your hours and your rate.
What you'll need:
• At least 6 months of professional care experience within the last 24 months.
• An Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service, which we can help you arrange.
• The right to work in the UK, shown with a passport or a share code.
• An NI number and an email address you can verify.
• About 45 minutes for a recorded online interview.
Apply today: registering takes a few minutes, and the interview about 45 minutes.
After that your Enhanced DBS sets the pace: if yours is in date and on the Update Service you could be applying for jobs in Holmfirth within days, and if you need a new one it usually takes a few weeks.
