Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Sharston and the surrounding area for flexible, hourly daytime home care. Roles typically involve personal care, meal support, medication reminders and light errands during visits, letting clients remain independent in their own homes. Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day you might be helping with washing and dressing, preparing or supporting meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed with the client, and running short errands such as shopping or post. Work is focused on daytime visits and short stays rather than long residential shifts, so it suits carers who prefer varied calls and clear boundaries around hours.

This opportunity is for experienced, registered carers who want to stay self-employed. You set your own hours, service area and which clients you accept, and you choose your own rates — many carers on PrimeCarers work within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day work where offered. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance coverage while you work.

Sharston is the local focus, but you can also choose to accept work across nearby neighbourhoods including Benchill, Wythenshawe, Northenden, Peel Hall, Baguley and Newall Green. Many carers who leave agency rotas for PrimeCarers tell us they value the control over their diary and the direct relationships with families. If you know Sharston and the surrounding streets well, you can build a routine that fits your life.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. You remain self-employed at all times and are free to accept or decline any client matches.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and once live you can start choosing visits that suit your hours and location. The platform also manages invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on care.
