Visiting Carer Jobs in Wigan

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Wigan who need daytime, hourly home care. Typical visiting shifts involve personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication, and running errands so people can stay independent at home. You’ll work with adults in their own houses across Wigan and nearby areas, and we also list opportunities into parts of Manchester. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role looks like

• Short daytime visits or longer hourly calls to assist with personal care, dressing, washing, meal preparation and prompting or administering medication where required.
• Support with shopping, appointments and light errands that help clients remain at home.
• Clients range from younger adults to older people with long-term needs; carers set which visits they accept.

Who this suits

This is ideal for people with at least 1 year of professional care experience who want to leave agency rotas and regain control. If you want predictable daytime work, to build a regular client list across Wigan, or to supplement existing care shifts in Manchester, this platform is built for experienced, reliable carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families.

Pay and flexibility

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You’ll see opportunities in the £18.80–£20.50 per hour range and decide which clients and hours suit you. Choose your service area and build a diary of visiting care that fits around your life.
