Description

Looking for flexible, self-employed daytime care work in Ashton Hurst? PrimeCarers connects experienced private carers with families needing hourly home care for personal care, meal support, medication prompting and local errands. You’ll be working in clients’ own homes across Ashton Hurst and nearby areas, choosing the hours and people who suit you. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work typically involves short daytime visits: personal care, helping with washing and dressing, preparing light meals, prompting or administering medication (if requested), companionship and shopping or appointment support. Visits are ideal for carers who prefer variety in their day and want to focus on one-to-one support in the community. Many carers move from agencies to PrimeCarers because they want more control over who they see and when.

Pay and flexibility are at the heart of this role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical listings show rates around £18.70–£20 per hour. You can list hourly care at £18.70–£20 per hour or take longer day assignments reflected by £146–£160.50 per day, depending on the work you choose. You select clients, hours and the service area you cover, so you can build shifts that fit your life in Ashton Hurst or when travelling to nearby towns such as Ashton Waterloo, Ashton St. Michael's, Mossley, Ashton under Lyne, Stalybridge North and Stalybridge.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work on a booking. That administration support means you can focus on care, not paperwork. If you’re used to agency routines but want clearer control over pay and clients, this setup keeps the support you need while giving you independence.

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. Many local carers in Ashton Hurst and greater Manchester switch to PrimeCarers with these checks already in place and find profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes and the sign-up steps are straightforward.

If you value respectful home-based care, predictable paperwork and the freedom to choose your hours, creating a PrimeCarers profile could be the change you’re after.
