Description

Looking for flexible daytime care work in East Sheen that lets you take control of your working life? PrimeCarers connects skilled, self‑employed carers with families needing hourly home care visits in East Sheen and across Richmond upon Thames. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and everyday errands — short daytime visits that fit around your life. Right now, 232 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical daytime visits focus on practical, compassionate support: helping with washing and dressing, preparing meals, assisting with medication administration as instructed, supporting mobility around the home, and running light errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer one‑to‑one visits and want to work directly with families in East Sheen rather than through an agency.

As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own rates (typical £18.80–£20.30 per hour) and choose the clients, hours and service area you want to cover. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work with a family who found you through the platform, giving you practical protection and less paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at ensuring safe, professional care: 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. You’ll need to be comfortable working as a registered self‑employed carer and managing visits in local homes across East Sheen and neighbouring areas such as Mortlake, North Sheen, Kew, Barnes, Chiswick and Roehampton.

Joining is quick. The online application takes minutes and, once your ID and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days. You choose which enquiries to accept and can build a schedule that suits you — whether you cover just a few daytime visits in East Sheen each week or work across Richmond upon Thames more widely.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role. If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and reclaim flexibility while keeping the care you provide central, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started in East Sheen. Apply now and your profile could be live within days.
