Help people living with dementia stay safe, calm and at home in New Islington. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you’ll support clients in familiar surroundings, using patience, gentle routines and clear communication to reduce distress and maintain dignity. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across New Islington and nearby neighbourhoods — not a single role.

Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work usually involves regular home visits and consistent, routine-based support: companionship, medication prompts, meal assistance, help with personal care where needed, and careful observation of changes in mood or health. You’ll be working to preserve daily rhythms and familiar cues that help people with dementia stay oriented and comfortable in their own homes.

This style of care suits experienced carers who prefer continuity over shift-to-shift change — if you value building trust, learning someone’s story and adapting care to established routines, New Islington clients need you. Many carers moving away from agency models choose this route because it lets them focus on quality time with fewer rota surprises.

As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical rates for roles like these are £18.70–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a PrimeCarers placement.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. You’ll be asked to complete a simple online profile and provide references and ID for verification.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families in New Islington, Manchester and surrounding areas including Ancoats, Northern Quarter, Manchester city centre, Collyhurst, Miles Platting and Ardwick Green. Because roles are ongoing and arranged directly with families, you choose which clients to accept and when to work.
