Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This role suits experienced carers who want control over their work. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed, you set your own rates and you choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. We find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Many carers who used to work through agencies find the move gives them clearer pay, cleaner paperwork and more control over their diary. You’ll see opportunities across Green Quarter and into Strangeways, Northern Quarter, Ancoats, Glenbrook, Collyhurst and Manchester city centre.
Typical assignments are daytime hourly visits. Tasks often include:
- Assisting with personal care such as washing, dressing and continence support

(If you carry out longer live-in days you may see figures shown as £146–£160.50 per day.) We do not promise specific earnings because work varies, but PrimeCarers gives you the platform to choose what you’ll accept.
Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. The application takes minutes and, once verified, most profiles go live within days — ready for families in Green Quarter to find you.
