Description

Support people living with dementia to stay at home in Dollar, keeping to routines, familiar surroundings and small comforts that matter. You’ll spend time listening, helping with daily tasks and creating calm, consistent days for clients who value patience and continuity. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families, so you can offer one-to-one support while keeping control over how you work locally in Dollar and the surrounding area.

Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work suits experienced carers who prefer relationship-led support over rapid task lists. Typical duties include companionship, personal care, prompting & reminding, supporting mealtimes, walking with clients where safe, and maintaining routines that reduce agitation. Much of this role is about presence and consistency rather than medical intervention, so your empathy, patience and practical experience are the most important assets.

Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates; typical roles on the platform fall in the range £18.70–£20 per hour. You can choose short visits, regular daytime hours, or live-in arrangements — see typical ranges of £18.70–£20 per hour for hourly support and £146–£161 per day for live‑in days. You decide which clients to accept, which hours to work and the service area you cover, including nearby neighbourhoods like Peel Hall, Benchill, Sharston, Newall Green, Ringway and Cheadle.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work for clients introduced through the platform. That means less admin than agency employment and more clarity about who you’re working for and how you’ll be paid.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Many carers make the switch from agency work because they want more control over their schedule and the chance to build stronger relationships with people living with dementia.

If you live in Dollar or nearby and want to shape your own care practice in and around Manchester, PrimeCarers offers a straightforward way to stay self-employed while getting regular client introductions. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and start choosing the kinds of dementia care roles that suit you — on terms you set.
