Description

Work supporting people with dementia in their own homes across Ardwick and the surrounding neighbourhoods. You’ll help keep familiar routines, offer calm companionship and practical support so people can stay living where they’re most comfortable.
Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role is about patience, observation and steady routines. Typical tasks include supporting morning and evening routines, prompting medication, helping with meals, keeping company, assisting with personal care when needed and noticing changes to a client’s wellbeing so families can be informed. Work is focused on enabling dignity and continuity of life at home rather than moving someone into unfamiliar care.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates, hours and service area — many carers in Ardwick choose to charge within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support required. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You choose which families to accept and organise your own rota around other commitments.

Who this suits: experienced carers who understand dementia care, value a person-centred approach and want more control than they get in agency work. You 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; PrimeCarers can help arrange this for you. You should be based in or able to travel across Ardwick and nearby neighbourhoods such as Ardwick Green, Chorlton-on-Medlock, West Gorton, Bradford-with-Beswick, Belle Vue and Manchester city centre, with occasional work towards Manchester city centre where needed.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You won’t be tied into shifts you don’t want — choose clients and hours that fit your life, and let PrimeCarers handle the admin and payments so you can focus on care.
