Description
Visiting carers in Widnes provide hourly daytime home care: short visits to help people with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands so they can stay independent in their own homes. You’ll meet people in their houses across Widnes, building reliable routines and relationships while fitting work around the rest of your life.
Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This role suits experienced carers used to agency work who want more control. You’ll be self-employed: you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide the area you cover in Widnes and nearby towns such as Runcorn, Halewood, Rainhill, Frodsham, Whiston and Huyton. PrimeCarers helps find clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical pay for hourly home care roles on the platform is £18.50–£20 per hour.
Daytime visiting care usually involves multiple short calls across a day — anything from personal care and washing to meal prep, prompting medication and popping out for shopping or prescriptions. Visits are planned around each client’s needs, so you can take shifts that fit school runs, college or other commitments.
To join you need at least one year of recent professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll manage your own tax and National Insurance as a self-employed worker; PrimeCarers takes care of client billing and pays you for the hours you record.
PrimeCarers is designed for carers who want more autonomy without the admin headache. We check references and right-to-work, set up contracts and take care of invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Profiles normally go live within days of verification, and applying takes only minutes.
If you’re a confident, experienced carer in Widnes or elsewhere in Cheshire and you want to move away from rota-driven agency shifts, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a practical next step. You remain in control of the clients you accept, the times you work and the neighbourhoods you visit. Ready to try something different? Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days after verification.
