Description

Are you an experienced carer in Chadwell Heath looking for more control over your work-life balance? PrimeCarers connects self-employed visiting carers with families for daytime home visits that focus on personal care, meal support, medication prompts and errands. Right now, 177 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you work with, and plan the hours and area you cover around Chadwell Heath and nearby neighbourhoods. Typical rates on PrimeCarers are £18.80–£20 per hour. You remain self-employed and free to accept the visits that fit your schedule.

We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working so you can focus on care, not paperwork. PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to take bookings and get paid. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This kind of visiting care suits experienced carers who prefer short, daytime calls rather than long shifts. A typical day might involve helping with personal hygiene, preparing light meals, supporting safe medication routines, or running local errands such as shopping or appointments. Many carers who move from agency work to PrimeCarers do so for the flexibility and to keep stronger continuity with the people they support.

To join we ask for 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. We’ll guide you through the checks and documentation so your profile can be verified quickly.
