Description
Help people stay independent at home with daytime visits for personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands across Cheadle and the surrounding area. You’ll be carrying out friendly, skilled hourly home care in people’s own homes — small, regular visits that make a big difference to someone’s day. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is for experienced carers who want to move away from agency life and take control. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. You can expect work across Cheadle and nearby neighbourhoods such as Parrs Wood, Didsbury East, Didsbury, Cheadle Hulme, Sharston and Peel Hall, as well as other parts of Manchester when you want it. Typical pay for this role is £18.50–£20 per hour and you decide exactly what to charge.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you keep the flexibility of being self-employed but without carrying the back-office burden.
Who this suits:
- Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want predictable, daytime visits.
- People who value autonomy — choosing clients, setting rates and building a schedule that fits life outside work.
- Carers who want to work locally around Cheadle and nearby towns like Parrs Wood, Didsbury East, Didsbury, Cheadle Hulme, Sharston and Peel Hall.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help you arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do the client introductions and the paperwork once your checks are complete. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification.
Because you’re self-employed you set your own service area and hours — whether you want mornings only, school-run support or a mix of mid-day visits. PrimeCarers supports payments and offers insurance cover during the work, so you can focus on delivering reliable, person-centred care in Cheadle and beyond.
