Description
PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families across Stockport. You choose which clients you work with, set your own rates and pick the hours that fit your life. We find families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work.
Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Most roles are daytime hourly visits helping clients remain independent in their own homes. Typical duties include personal care (washing, dressing and continence support), preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, companionship and short errands like shopping or pharmacy runs. You’ll see a lot of variety across Stockport and sometimes into parts of Manchester depending on the clients you accept. Typical rates are £18.50–£20 per hour.
This is ongoing self‑employed work rather than a one‑off placement. It suits experienced carers who want more control than an agency role: you can accept or decline clients, block out times you’re unavailable, and define the area you’re willing to travel to (for example Poynton with Worth, Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle, Highfield Country Park, Parrs Wood and Didsbury East).
Requirements to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
PrimeCarers looks after the admin side so you can focus on care: we create the client contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance cover while you’re working on a booking. You remain self‑employed and set your own charges; many carers who move from agency work remark on the clearer paperwork and more predictable admin.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to accept hourly daytime visits that suit your schedule, build ongoing relationships with families, and keep full control over your working pattern.
If you’ve been providing skilled, compassionate care in Stockport and want to keep doing the work you love while running your own micro‑business, join PrimeCarers and start connecting with local families.
