Description
Looking for flexible daytime care work in Tottington that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families needing hourly home care. Most visits are daytime calls to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands, all in clients' own homes across Tottington and nearby areas including Manchester.
Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The work is straightforward and practical: short daytime visits to support independence, companionship and safe routines. Typical duties include personal care such as washing and dressing, preparing meals and drinks, supporting with medication reminders, light domestic tasks, shopping or running errands and documenting care notes. These roles suit carers who prefer varied, one-to-one support and enjoy working closely with people in their homes.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Many carers aim for rates in line with £18.60–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work, so you can focus on care rather than administration.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’re looking for trustworthy, experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. You remain in control: choose the hours you want, accept only the clients that fit your skills and travel within a service area that works for you. Many carers cover Tottington and neighbouring towns such as Ramsbottom, Bury, Radcliffe, Bolton, Whitefield and Heywood.
If you’re considering leaving agency shifts for something more flexible and rewarding in Tottington or the wider Manchester area, PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want autonomy with support. Set up a profile, choose your rates and start reviewing client matches. Profiles usually go live within days after checks are complete.
