Description
Are you an experienced carer in Whalley Range looking to leave agency routines and take control of your work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers with families for daytime hourly home care across Whalley Range and nearby neighbourhoods. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meal assistance, medication prompts and errands, all on terms you set.
Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Most work is daytime visiting: short visits, two- or three-hour calls, or longer daytime shifts. Typical duties include help with washing and dressing, prompting or administering medication, preparing nutritious meals, light housekeeping related to care, and accompanying clients to appointments or local errands. You’ll be supporting people who want to stay independent at home in Whalley Range, while working within the city of Manchester and surrounding areas.
This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to run their own micro-business. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you cover. Typical pay is shown as £18.70–£20 per hour and you can list either hourly or live-in day availability using £18.70–£20 per hour and £146–£161 per day as guides when you build your profile.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work through the platform. That means less admin and more time caring. You’ll still be self-employed: you keep control of your schedule and decide which offers to accept.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applicants from Whalley Range and surrounding neighbourhoods — including Moss Side, Hulme, Chorlton, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Chorlton Park and Old Moat — are welcome.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can begin to take bookings quickly. If you’re ready for a fairer, more flexible way of working in Whalley Range and greater control over your hours and clients, PrimeCarers could be the change you’re looking for.
How to apply: Create a profile, upload your references and DBS, set your availability and rates, and we’ll do the rest. Your profile can be live within days and you stay in charge of who you work for and when.
