Description
Hourly home care in Hackney Central supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. Daytime visits are the focus: short calls, longer support with personal care or companionship — whatever suits the people you work with and the hours you want. Right now, 225 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers. You’ll set your own rates and choose which families, hours and areas you’ll work in across Hackney Central and nearby Lower Clapton, Homerton, Dalston, West Hackney, Shacklewell and South Hackney. We match you with enquiries, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement.
This type of hourly home care suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life often allows. If you’re used to daytime visits, helping with washing and dressing, meal prep, prompting medication, light domestic tasks and errands, you’ll find straightforward, ongoing opportunities here. You decide how many clients to take, which visits to accept and how far you’ll travel.
Pay and flexibility: As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your rate; typical rates for this role are £18.80–£20 per hour but you pick the exact figure that reflects your experience and availability. You invoice through the platform; we then manage client payments and transfer to you.
Requirements to join (you must have):
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
Applying takes minutes and you’ll usually have a live profile within days of verification. Once verified you can begin responding to matches in Hackney Central straight away. We’re not advertising a single job — this is an ongoing way to connect directly with families who need daytime hourly care.
