Visiting Carer Jobs in Barking

We’re looking for experienced carers in Barking to provide hourly home care — daytime visits supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication and errands. Work as a self-employed visiting carer, choose the clients you want to visit and set the hours that suit you. Right now, 215 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families. You’ll do short daytime visits or longer hourly calls depending on what you choose to offer. Many carers coming to PrimeCarers are leaving agency rotas because they want control over their diary, clearer pay for every hour worked and the chance to build regular rounds in Barking and across Barking and Dagenham. You can work locally in Barking and nearby Loxford, Little Ilford, East Ham, Ilford, Manor Park and Beckton.

Pay and flexibility: you set your own rates and keep more of what you earn. Typical rates for these visiting care roles are £18.80–£20 per hour. You decide which visits to accept, how far you’ll travel and which hours you’ll offer. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do check these before your profile goes live so families can trust who they’re inviting into their homes.

How it works: apply in minutes, complete a short verification and your profile typically appears within days. Once live, you’ll receive enquiries from families in Barking and surrounding areas; you decide which enquiries to accept. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with straightforward contracts, invoicing and prompt payment handling so you can focus on care.

Who this is for: experienced, compassionate carers who want predictable daytime visiting work, clear pay for the hours they do and the freedom to build their own rounds. If you’re used to agency life but want greater control over clients and hours in Barking and the wider borough, this is an easy way to make the change.
