Private Carer Jobs in Runcorn

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Runcorn looking for daytime, hourly home care. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and short errands. You’ll work one-to-one, typically for hourly visits rather than live-in care. Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits carers who want to move away from agency rotas and choose when and where they work. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area, so you can build a diary that fits your life. Many carers list within days and begin accepting bookings promptly after verification.

Typical client visits include personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), meal preparation and assistance, medication prompting or administration as agreed, light household tasks and shopping runs. Visits are usually short daytime appointments. You’ll keep records of care and communicate directly with families through the platform.

Pay is flexible because you set your rates; many carers use £18.50–£20 per hour as a guide. For clarity, the platform will also display £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day where applicable so you can compare local market levels and set your prices confidently.

PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, and support staff are available if questions arise. You remain self-employed and in control: accept the bookings that suit you and decline those that don’t.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. These checks protect you and the families you support. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers operates across Runcorn and the surrounding Cheshire area, with regular requests from nearby towns such as Widnes, Frodsham, Halewood, Rainhill, Whiston and Huyton. If you’re ready to leave rota-driven agency life but keep delivering great care in people’s homes, setting your own terms, PrimeCarers makes the administration straightforward so you can focus on care.

To apply, create your profile, upload your documents and choose the areas you want to serve. Your profile goes live after verification and you can start connecting with families straight away.
