Description
If you’re an experienced carer in Swinton looking for daytime visiting work, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families who need help with personal care, preparing meals, medication prompts and light errands. You choose the visits you take, your hours and the area you cover, and you set your own hourly rate. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical work is hourly home care: short daytime visits, regular calls to support routines, companionship and practical help to keep people living well at home. Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from rota-based agency life and build a simpler, more predictable diary that fits family and travel commitments around Swinton and nearby areas such as Pendlebury, Worsley, Eccles, Kearsley, Walkden and Salford.
Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for visiting care roles are £18.80–£20 per hour. You can accept single short visits or a series of regular calls; you decide which households suit you and when you want to work in Swinton or elsewhere in Manchester.
What you’ll do:
- Personal care: helping with washing, dressing and continence support where needed.
- Meals and nutrition: preparing light meals, supporting mealtimes and assisting with drinks.
- Medication prompts: reminding or prompting clients to take prescribed medicines (not administering clinical injections).
- Errands and companionship: light shopping, posting letters, and spending quality time with the person in their home.
Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their work-life balance. If you currently work for an agency but want to choose your clients and hours, PrimeCarers can help you find local visits that fit your life in Swinton and the wider Manchester area.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for family bookings, and provides insurance cover while you work for those clients.
How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Once we verify your checks and references your profile typically goes live within days and families can start contacting you directly. There’s no fixed rota to accept — you remain self-employed and in control of which visits you take.
