Description
If you’re an experienced carer who prefers daytime, hourly home visits, PrimeCarers connects you with families in Chelsea and the surrounding streets. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands, working as a self‑employed carer who sets their own rates and chooses clients, hours and service area. Right now, 226 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Day-to-day visits typically include help with washing and dressing, mealtimes and kitchen support, prompting or administering medication where the family asks, light domestic tasks and local shopping or appointments. Work suits carers who value meaningful one-to-one time and who want flexible, daytime hours rather than shift rotations.
PrimeCarers is set up for independent professionals: you choose who you work for, when you work and how far you’ll travel. Many carers on the platform set rates within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly home care, and PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and secure payments. Insurance is included while you work on a placement through the platform.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self‑employed at all times and are free to accept or decline any booking. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Many carers based in Chelsea extend their area to nearby streets and towns and take short runs into South Kensington, Knightsbridge, Castelnau, Battersea, Belgravia and Sands End. That flexibility helps you build a regular daytime schedule without long night shifts or banked hours. If you’re used to agency work but want more control over clients and pay, this model lets you keep professional independence while PrimeCarers manages the admin side.
We don’t advertise single roles here — this page describes ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Chelsea and the borough of Kensington and Chelsea. If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and pick daytime visits that suit your life, create a profile and start choosing the work you want. The sign-up is straightforward, and support is available throughout verification and matching.
