Description

If you’re an experienced carer in Rainford looking for day visits and genuine control over your work, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed visiting carers with families who need hourly home care. Typical daytime visits involve personal care, helping with meals, prompting or administering medication, and running errands or companionship in people’s own homes. You’ll work locally across Rainford and surrounding areas in Merseyside.

Right now, 19 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for people who want to leave agency rosters behind and choose when and where they work. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and pick the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers use this kind of role for regular daytime rounds of hourly home care, offering support such as:

  • Personal care — washing, dressing and continence support when needed.
  • Meals — meal preparation, prompting and support at mealtimes.
  • Medication and health prompts — following care notes and prompting medication.
  • Errands and companionship — shopping, light domestic tasks and friendly visits.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Typical rates for this kind of visiting carer role are £18.80–£20 per hour and many carers decide how they balance daytime work with evenings or weekends. You can also consider longer day cover using the live‑in day range of £145–£160 per day or shorter hourly work within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the client’s needs.

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. PrimeCarers handles the contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work on a booking. You remain self‑employed throughout and free to accept or decline work.

We cover Rainford and nearby communities such as Skelmersdale, St Helens, Kirkby, Prescot, Whiston and Newburgh, so you’ll be supported in finding suitable daytime visits close to home. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing local opportunities quickly.
