Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Irlam

PrimeCarers links experienced, self-employed carers with families in Irlam who need reliable daytime hourly home care. You’ll be helping people in their own homes with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running small errands so clients can stay independent where they’re happiest. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities suit carers who want more control than working for an agency. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose which clients you’ll work with, pick the hours that fit your life, and decide how far you’ll travel around Irlam and the surrounding area including Cadishead, Partington, Sale, Eccles, Worsley and Birchwood. Many carers who join do morning or afternoon visits, short-burst support between appointments, or a few longer calls each week.

Typical daytime work includes:

• Personal care (washing, dressing, continence support) and dignity-focused assistance.
• Meal preparation and supporting eating where needed.
• Cueing, prompting, or helping with medication as agreed with the client.
• Light errands and companionship—shopping runs, appointment trips and social visits.

Pay and practical points are straightforward. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; many charge in the region of £18.50–£20 per hour depending on experience, specialisms and travel. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity across Irlam and nearby communities, with flexible day-time hours ideal for carers who want to reduce late or irregular shifts but retain variety and client continuity. Many carers moving from agency work value being able to choose their clients and build trusted relationships in and around Manchester while managing their own working patterns.
