Description
Hourly home care in Failsworth means short daytime visits helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. You’ll provide friendly, professional support that helps people stay independent where they’re happiest — at home. Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These roles are for experienced carers who want control. 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 that). You are self-employed on PrimeCarers: you choose your clients, the hours you work and the area you cover in and around Failsworth and Manchester. Many carers use £18.50–£20 per hour as a guide when setting their own rates.
Day-to-day you’ll be doing practical, person-centred tasks: supporting with washing and dressing, helping make meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed, and running small errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are usually hourly daytime calls — a great fit if you prefer variety, want to avoid long shifts and want to balance caring with family life or other commitments.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and looks after the paperwork: we handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you spend less time on admin and more time on care. You remain free to accept or decline matches, set your availability and manage your diary week by week.
This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity across Failsworth and nearby areas such as New Moston, Moston, Newton Heath, Droylsden, Harpurhey and Openshaw. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. If you’re used to agency routines but want more say over who you care for and when, PrimeCarers gives you the flexibility without leaving behind practical support.
