Why work as a carer in Durham?
Working as a carer in Durham means becoming part of a close-knit community. You'll get to know the local area intimately and build genuine relationships with the families you support. Durham's diverse population means a wide range of care needs—from supporting elderly residents to helping families with disabilities or childcare. This variety keeps your work rewarding and allows you to focus on the types of care you're most passionate about.
As a Caree carer in Durham, you'll make a real, tangible difference in people's lives every single day. Families in the area are looking for trustworthy, reliable carers they can depend on—and when you deliver that, you build lasting relationships and a loyal client base. The satisfaction of knowing you've genuinely improved someone's day or helped them maintain their independence is something many carers tell us is irreplaceable.
Benefits of being a Caree carer
Being a carer with Caree means real freedom. You set your own hourly rates based on your experience and qualifications, so you're rewarded fairly for the value you bring. You choose which families to work with and can structure your schedule around your life—whether that's taking on regular clients, flexible ad-hoc work, or anything in between. There are no restrictive agency fees eating into your earnings; you keep significantly more of what you earn compared to traditional care agencies.
Caree provides the support you need to succeed. We handle your Enhanced DBS check and verification so you can focus on what you do best. You'll have access to resources, guidance, and a community of other carers. Over time, you'll build your own client base of families who value your work and return to you again and again. This creates stability, predictability, and the opportunity to grow your carer business exactly as you want to.
