Description

Looking after someone with dementia at home is about patience, routine and preserving familiar surroundings. If you’re an experienced carer who values continuity of care, Moss Side families need compassionate people who can support clients through daily routines, memory prompts, companionship and personal care in their own homes. Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves building predictable structures: helping with morning and evening routines, supporting safe mobility, prompting medication, preparing simple meals, and offering calm company during the day. You’ll be helping people stay in the place they know best — their own home — and supporting relatives who often need reliable, skilled help. Many of the roles focus on consistent weekly visits rather than shift work, which suits carers who prefer to form trusting relationships.

This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity for carers around Moss Side and nearby communities such as Hulme, Whalley Range, Castlefield, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Chorlton and Chorlton-cum-Hardy. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose clients, hours and the area they work in — typical rates for this kind of work are around £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

  • Who this suits — You should already have at least one year of professional care experience and be comfortable supporting people living with memory loss. Patience, a gentle manner and an ability to follow routines are essential. This role suits carers wanting more control than agency shifts offer and those who prefer home-based, relationship-led support.
  • Requirements to join — You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references, and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one). We also ask for at least one year’s professional care experience before joining.
  • Flexibility and pay — As a self-employed carer you choose your clients, hours and rates. PrimeCarers helps with client introductions and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and most profiles go live within days of verification. Whether you already work in Moss Side, travel from Hulme or Chorlton, or live elsewhere in Manchester and want shorter journeys, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to switch to self-employed care while keeping the practical support you need.

If you want to spend more time delivering consistent, person-centred dementia care in familiar homes, join PrimeCarers and start choosing the work that fits your skills and life.
