Description
Looking for steady daytime visiting care work in Angel and across Islington? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with local families who need help at home — personal care, meal support, medication prompting and light errands. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The kind of visits you'll do are practical and relational: short daytime calls for personal care, support with dressing and washing, meal preparation and companionship, prompting or administering medication where agreed, and occasional shopping or errands. These roles suit carers who value direct relationships with the people they support and want more control than agency rotas normally allow.
Pay is set by you. Typical ranges on PrimeCarers for visiting care are £18.80–£20 per hour. For reference, the typical hourly-care range is £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day ranges appear as £145–£160 per day. Because you're self-employed on the platform you set your own rate and decide which jobs match your needs.
PrimeCarers looks after the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you're working through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You don’t need to commit to shifts in advance — pick daytime visits around your availability and the clients you want to support.
Many carers on the platform work across Angel and neighbouring areas such as Pentonville, Clerkenwell, Barnsbury, Hoxton, Canonbury and St Lukes, so if you prefer to stay local you can set your service area to match your travel preferences.
If you’re used to agency life but want more autonomy, this is a practical step: choose your clients, set your rate, manage your diary. The application is straightforward — complete your profile, upload checks and references, and once verified you can start viewing and accepting local care requests.

Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
