Description

Visiting carers in Finsbury provide short daytime visits to support people in their own homes with personal care, meal prep, medication prompts and errands. These are hourly home care roles that suit experienced, steady hands who want to focus on hands-on care rather than office admin. Right now, 237 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers cover parts of Finsbury and nearby neighbourhoods across Islington. You set your own rate and availability so you can balance work around family, study or other commitments. Typical work involves one or more daytime visits each day, lasting from 30 minutes to a few hours: assisting with washing and dressing, preparing hot meals, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, helping with shopping or errands and offering reassuring companionship.

Pay is set by you: use £18.80–£20 per hour to position your profile and attract the bookings you want. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less chasing paperwork and more time on care.

This kind of work suits carers who have at least a year of professional care experience and want more control than a traditional agency role. You’ll usually be visiting people in their own homes around Finsbury and neighbouring streets, with possibilities across Custom House, Barbican, St Luke’s, Shoreditch, Spitalfields and Aldgate — or whatever area you choose to cover.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references from recent paid care roles

Applying takes minutes and you’ll be able to build your profile quickly. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing introductions that suit you. PrimeCarers supports you with clear contracts and secure payment processing so you can focus on reliable, person-centred care across Finsbury and greater Islington.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single placement. If you’re an experienced carer ready for more autonomy and a straightforward way to find local families, set up your profile today and start choosing the visits that fit your life.
