Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families across Crewe who need reliable daytime hourly home care. The role focuses on short daytime visits: personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light errands in clients' own homes. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you work and the area you cover in and around Crewe.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This is an ongoing self‑employed opportunity, not a single shift or placement. Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from agency structures while keeping steady daytime work in Crewe and neighbouring parts of Cheshire. Typical hourly rates sit within £18.80–£20.50 per hour and you set your own rates and availability.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want flexibility and more control — for example, people leaving agency work, part‑time carers wanting extra daytime visits, or those who prefer building direct relationships with families. Daytime visits usually involve helping with washing and dressing, continence support, preparing meals, medication prompting, companionship and local errands such as shopping or pharmacy runs.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we find clients, create contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working on a booking. You remain self‑employed and keep control of your diary. We also help with checks: you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed).

Working area: most carers on the platform cover Crewe and nearby towns including Nantwich, Sandbach, Alsager, Middlewich, Winsford and Kidsgrove. You set the service area you’ll accept visits within.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Once your references and checks are verified, profiles typically go live within days. After that you can review local requests and accept bookings that fit your schedule and preferences.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to work independently in Crewe and across Cheshire, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to earn on your terms while keeping professional support and protection in place.
