Description

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Spinningfields and nearby neighbourhoods. This role is about patience, building routine and keeping life familiar for each person you support — helping with daily tasks, companionship, memory prompts and the small details that make home feel safe. You’ll often support people who value consistent faces, calm pacing and a carer who understands how to reduce distress and build trusting routines.
Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities for experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you work and the service area you cover in Spinningfields, Glenbrook and surrounding pockets of Manchester. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. Many carers who join set their own rates and find the flexibility fits family life and other commitments: typical pay for this role is £18.50–£20 per hour.

What the role looks like day-to-day:

  • Support with routines: morning and evening care, medication reminders and settling evening anxiety.
  • Practical help: light domestic tasks, meal preparation, mobility assistance and accompanying to appointments or local activities.
  • Emotional support: compassionate companionship, memory prompts, life-story approaches and reassurance through familiar conversation and activity.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer continuity and can work with patience and creativity around memory loss. If you’ve spent at least a year in professional care and can bring calm, consistency and respect for home routines, families in Spinningfields value that continuity.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

How PrimeCarers helps you: we introduce clients, prepare clear contracts, collect payments and manage invoicing, and include insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed, set your rates and select the clients that suit you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re already working nearby or travelling from the Northern Quarter, Castlefield, Green Quarter or Strangeways, you can tailor your service area to fit your schedule and local travel.
