Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Colliers Wood who need daytime, hourly home care. You’ll visit clients in their own homes to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and essential errands. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities — you choose which clients to accept and how you work.
Right now, 229 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.Hourly home care visits are ideal if you want hands-on, meaningful work without agency restrictions. In Colliers Wood you’ll support people who value dignity and consistency: assisting with washing and dressing, making meals, prompting or administering medication under family instruction, and running errands like shopping or picking up prescriptions.
This role suits carers with at least a year of professional care experience who want to move away from fixed rotas and set their own hours. You remain self-employed and set your own rates; many carers on the PrimeCarers platform work within £18.80–£20.10 per hour depending on experience and the visit type. You choose your hours and service area, and can pick daytime visits that fit around family or other commitments.
To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care, not admin.
Colliers Wood sits within Merton, and we regularly place carers across the borough and nearby neighbourhoods — South Wimbledon, Tooting, Merton Park, Mitcham, Tooting Bec and Earlsfield.
