This platform suits experienced carers in and around Barbican who want to move away from agency rotas and take control. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll find work across Barbican and nearby areas such as Finsbury, St Lukes, Farringdon, Custom House, Blackfriars and Shoreditch.

Pay for hourly home care varies by client and level of support. Typical ranges are shown on the platform: £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care, with £18.80–£20 per hour as the usual hourly-care range and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates where applicable. Because you set your own rate you can decide how much you charge for personal care visits, mealtime help or medication support. PrimeCarers is not offering a single job posting here but a steady flow of matches in Barbican and the wider Islington area for carers who want reliable, daytime work.

A typical day on the platform might include two or three short visits for personal care, making a meal and staying for a chat, collecting prescriptions, or supporting a client with mobility around their home in Barbican. You remain self‑employed: you control your diary, accept the clients you want and plan your travel. If you already work in Islington or neighbouring neighbourhoods, the flexibility makes it straightforward to build the hours you want.

If you’re ready to leave agency paperwork behind and build a schedule that fits your life, creating a PrimeCarers profile takes minutes. Once verified you can begin choosing clients and arranging daytime visits in Barbican within days.
