Description
Work as a self-employed dementia carer in Harpurhey, supporting people to stay at home where they know their surroundings best. You’ll focus on patience, gentle routines and familiar prompts — helping with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, companionship and keeping the day predictable for someone living with dementia. Many families in Harpurhey choose carers who can provide continuity, calm and experience rather than rotating agency shifts.
Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing work across Harpurhey and nearby neighbourhoods including Cheetham, Miles Platting, Collyhurst, Crumpsall, Moston and Blackley, with opportunities in Manchester too. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients and hours that suit them. Typical rates for dementia care are around £18.70–£20 per hour. You decide whether you take short calls, regular day visits or live-in support where needed.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on delivering consistent, person-centred care without juggling the administration. Many carers who move from agencies appreciate being able to build relationships, keep routines for their clients and plan their weeks around reliable blocks of support.
Who this role suits:
- Experienced carers with at least a year of professional care experience who understand the needs of people living with dementia.
- Calm, patient communicators who can work with familiar routines and adapt to changing needs.
- Self-employed professionals ready to manage their own schedule and client choices while PrimeCarers handles matching and payments.
Requirements to join PrimeCarers: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly so applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
How to apply: create a profile, list your experience and availability, and let PrimeCarers match you with local families in Harpurhey and the surrounding areas. You remain fully in control of which clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover.
If you’re ready to focus on meaningful dementia care in Harpurhey — with the flexibility to set your rates and keep the work centred on routine, dignity and familiarity — PrimeCarers can help you get started quickly.
