Hourly home care visits typically involve support such as help with washing and dressing, continence support, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, companionship and shopping or appointment escorts. Visits are usually daytime and short to medium length, so you can build a varied, flexible diary around other commitments. Work in Friern Barnet and nearby communities including Brunswick Park, Barnet, New Southgate, North Finchley, Colney Hatch and Arnos Grove, with occasional roles in Enfield if you want more options.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want control over their work. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and accept the clients and hours that fit you. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£20 per hour and the platform also shows the usual hourly ranges for clarity: £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you won’t have to chase paperwork between visits.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You keep your independence as a self-employed carer but get access to a steady stream of enquiries, plus clear terms and invoicing handled for you. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from agency rota pressures while keeping regular daytime home visits. If you’re based in Friern Barnet and want to shape your own work—choosing clients, setting rates and planning hours—this could be a better way to care for people and manage your life.
