Description
PrimeCarers links experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Gants Hill and the wider Redbridge area for daytime, hourly home care. You’ll visit clients in their own homes to help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders and light errands — the kind of hands‑on, dignified support that makes a real difference to people’s day‑to‑day lives. Right now, 202 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work that suits experienced carers: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references, you can create a profile and start choosing the kinds of visits you take. You remain fully self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and manage the work you accept. Typical rates fall in £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly home care roles.
How it works in and around Gants Hill: families contact PrimeCarers when they need reliable daytime visits for tasks such as personal care, continence support, meal prep, prompting medication, shopping or appointment escorts. Many carers working with PrimeCarers prefer short, regular calls during mornings and afternoons, though you decide what fits your life. You’ll be serving local people across Gants Hill and nearby areas such as Newbury Park, Barkingside, Ilford, Aldborough Hatch, Seven Kings and Wanstead, keeping care local and relationship‑based.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find matching clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less paperwork than agency roles but the freedom and control of being self‑employed. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
This opportunity is best for carers who want more control than traditional agency work: if you value continuity, one‑to‑one support and choosing the hours that suit you, PrimeCarers could be a good fit. We advertise ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Redbridge, not a single post, so you can build a client list at your own pace.
To apply, create your profile, upload ID and references and tell us about your experience. If you need help with an Enhanced DBS we can assist. Once verified, you can start choosing clients and booking hourly home care visits in Gants Hill straight away.
