Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Farnworth

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Farnworth and nearby areas. If you already work in homecare and want more control over who you support and when, our platform helps you offer daytime hourly visits for personal care, meal support, medication prompts and light errands in people’s own homes. We focus on respectful, reliable care that keeps people independent for longer.

Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical daytime visits are hourly home care: assisting with personal care, dressing, mobility, preparing meals, medication reminders and shopping runs. You’ll visit clients in their own homes around Farnworth and often in neighbouring towns such as Kearsley, Walkden, Bolton, Worsley, Tyldsley and Radcliffe. Many carers choose shifts that suit family life, school runs or other work, and they organise their own diary.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rate, choose the clients you work with and decide your service area and hours. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour, with further detail available on your profile such as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day where relevant.

This route suits experienced carers who want to move away from restrictive rotas and target better work-life balance without giving up reliable admin support. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need support. We verify documents and references quickly so profiles typically go live within days once everything is checked.

Applying takes just minutes. Build a short profile, upload your DBS and references, choose the service area around Farnworth, and tell us the kind of hourly home care you provide. After verification you can start viewing client requests and offering your services directly. Many carers who join from agency work say they value choosing clients and having clearer control over fees and hours, while still benefiting from an organisation that handles contracts and payments for them.
