Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Miles Platting who need regular daytime support in their own homes. This page advertises ongoing opportunities for hourly home care: short daytime visits to help with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, supporting mobility and running errands. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Most shifts are local to Miles Platting, with clients also around Collyhurst, Ancoats, New Islington, Northern Quarter, Green Quarter and Harpurhey. You’ll be offering home‑based care in familiar streets rather than long hospital rounds. If you’re considering leaving agency work because you want more control over who you support and when, this model is made for that move.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of hourly home care are £18.60–£20 per hour. For comparison, platform ranges include £18.60–£20 per hour for standard hourly care and £146–£161 per day for longer day or live‑in arrangements. You pick what suits you and the families you meet.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who can work independently during daytime visits, who take pride in personal care and practical support, and who want to build ongoing relationships with the same households. You’ll be visiting people in their own homes across Miles Platting and nearby neighbourhoods, providing consistent, person‑centred support rather than one‑off appointments.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help organise this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify qualifications and references to protect clients and carers alike. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work — so you can focus on care while we look after the paperwork.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload a DBS or request one through us, add references and confirm your availability — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review local enquiries, message families and accept bookings that fit your diary. There’s no single job here: just ongoing self‑employed opportunities you can build into a reliable, flexible stream of work across Miles Platting and the surrounding area.
