Description

Work as a self-employed private carer in Ancoats, providing daytime hourly home care visits to people who want to stay independent in their own homes. Typical duties include personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication prompts, light household tasks and short errands. You’ll meet clients in their homes across Ancoats and nearby neighbourhoods, and often cover one-off daytime visits or regular hour-by-hour calls.

Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families. If you’re used to agency shifts but want to choose your clients, set your own availability and control your working area, PrimeCarers is built for that. You remain fully self-employed, set your own rates and keep the autonomy you want while we handle the admin. Many carers in Ancoats set rates that match their skills and experience — typical ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoices and payments so you can focus on care. While you’re working with a family booked through the platform, insurance is included. You choose the hours, the clients you accept and the streets of Ancoats or neighbouring parts of Manchester you’ll cover. We see enquiries from families across New Islington, Northern Quarter, Collyhurst, Manchester city centre, Green Quarter and Glenbrook, so there’s scope to build regular daytime work or pick up occasional visits.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t ask you to change how you deliver care — just to bring your experience and a professional approach. Profiles are quick to create: applying takes minutes and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days.

Work in Ancoats with the dignity and flexibility you deserve. Choose daytime hourly visits that fit your life, manage your own diary and keep control of the care you provide. If you want to move away from rigid rota-driven shifts but still have client introduction, contract and payment support, PrimeCarers puts the choice back in your hands.
