Description
If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rota constraints, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families in Pendlebury for hourly daytime home care visits. Work typically involves personal care, meal support, medication prompts and short errands to help people stay independent in their own homes. Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
What the role looks like on a usual day:
- Short daytime visits to offer personal care (washing, dressing, continence support) and companionship.
- Assisting with meal preparation, encouraging eating and fluid intake, and supporting mobility around the home.
- Medication prompts and simple medicines handling as agreed in the care plan.
- Light errands and appointments, such as picking up prescriptions or accompanying to a GP if required.
This work suits experienced, reliable carers who value flexibility and want more control over their week. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and pick the clients and hours that fit your life — typical work pays £18.50–£20 per hour and you choose where you’ll travel. Many carers who leave agency work tell us they enjoy the clearer control over hours and the stronger client relationships they can build in Pendlebury and nearby areas like Swinton, Salford, Prestwich, Eccles, Strangeways and Worsley.
Basic requirements to join:
- At least one year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need it).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We match you with families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working through the platform. You remain self‑employed, so you keep full control of your diary and service area — many carers cover parts of Pendlebury and travel into Manchester for nearby visits.
Applying takes minutes and your profile usually goes live within days of verification. If you’re used to agency life but want clearer hours, fair pay and direct relationships with families, creating a profile is an easy next step to try something different in Pendlebury.
