This is for experienced carers who want control over their working life. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency routines, PrimeCarers lets you choose your own clients, hours and service area around Bolton so you can balance work and life. You set your own rates and keep the flexibility to accept or decline work that doesn’t suit you. Typical local rates sit around £18.50–£20 per hour.

What the role involves: you’ll be making visits to support people with personal care (washing, dressing, continence), preparing meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the family, and helping with shopping or errands. Visits are hourly and daytime-focused, with variety from short calls to longer visits depending on the client’s needs. Work is available across Bolton and nearby communities including Farnworth, Kearsley, Walkden, Lee Bank, Radcliffe and Tottington, and into parts of Manchester when you choose to cover that area.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one). We’ll ask to see references and evidence of your experience as part of a straightforward verification.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We deal with contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. Many carers who join value that administrative burden is removed while they remain fully self-employed and in charge of their diary.
