Visiting Carer Jobs in Leigh

Looking for daytime visiting carer work in Leigh? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families who need hourly home care — personal care, help with meals, medication support and errands — across Leigh and nearby neighbourhoods in Manchester. You choose the clients, hours and service area and set your own rate. Right now, 35 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical daytime visiting roles involve short or regular calls to help people live safely at home. Tasks often include:

• Personal care — washing, dressing and continence support;
• Domestic support — preparing meals, light housework and shopping;
• Medication — prompting or supervised administration;
• Practical errands and companionship — appointments, mobility support and social visits.

This work suits experienced carers who value flexibility. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency hours or want more control over your day, you can pick the clients and neighbourhoods you accept — including work across Leigh and Atherton, Tyldsley, Lee Bank, Golbourne, Hindley and Westhoughton — and set a rate that reflects your skills. Typical pay for visiting care ranges around £18.50–£20 per hour. For reference across different care types we may show £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day rates where applicable.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and handling the paperwork: we prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working on a match. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through the checks and walk you through how to present your experience to families in Leigh and the wider Manchester area.

You'll keep complete control over your availability and service area, whether you want a few daytime calls a week or several longer visits. Many carers appreciate the clearer working arrangements and direct relationships with families that PrimeCarers enables.
