Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour, and you can accept anything from short evening calls to full weekend stays. PrimeCarers puts you in touch with families looking for regular or occasional respite support, so you can build the mix of shifts that fits your life.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, draft contracts, manage invoicing and process payments — and we include insurance while you’re working through the platform. You remain self-employed and free to set your availability and service area within Ancoats and nearby parts of Manchester. Because carers set their own terms, many find the flexibility easier to balance with family life, study or other commitments.

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 also required; if you don’t have one yet, PrimeCarers can help arrange it. You’ll create a profile in minutes and, once verified with references and checks, profiles typically go live within days, ready for families to find you.
