Work typically involves visiting people in their own homes across Blackrod and nearby towns such as Horwich, Adlington, Westhoughton, Wigan, Hindley and Ince in Makerfield. You’ll help with day-to-day living: encouraging routines, managing memory prompts, assisting with personal care and medication reminders, adapting activities to what each person finds comforting, and staying calm when things are confusing or distressing. Much of the role is about building trust, keeping to familiar rhythms and noticing small changes over time.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Blackrod and parts of Manchester. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own working patterns, service area and hourly rates — the typical range is £18.50–£20 per hour — and choose the clients they want to support. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally including dementia support.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your references and DBS, then wait for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification so you can start seeing suitable introductions quickly. PrimeCarers does not allocate a single fixed role here — instead we advertise ongoing opportunities for self-employed carers across Blackrod and the surrounding area.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control — the freedom to set your own rates, pick the hours that suit you and build longer-term relationships with people living with dementia — PrimeCarers could be a good fit. You remain self-employed, you choose your clients, and we support the admin so you can focus on care.
