You’ll meet different people on short daytime calls and build ongoing relationships in the community.
Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life often allows. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and work as a self-employed carer while we find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work. If you travel across east London you’ll find work near places like Hackney Wick, Homerton, Maryland, Old Ford, Lea Bridge and Leyton and across Hackney too.

Typical daytime visiting tasks include:

  • Personal care: washing, dressing and toileting support as agreed.
  • Meals: preparing and serving light meals or hot drinks.
  • Medication: reminding and observing, following clients’ care plans.
  • Errands and appointments: shopping, collecting prescriptions or local accompaniment.
  • Companionship: gentle conversation, encouragement and check-ins to keep people safe at home.

Pay and flexibility are central. You decide your hourly rate and can accept visits that suit your day-to-day life. Typical rates for visiting carers in this area are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you 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. We’ll guide you through verification so you’re ready to accept shifts across Hackney Marshes and neighbouring communities.

If you’re used to agency routines but want clearer control over who you work with and when, this is a simple, reliable way to keep delivering excellent care without the admin overhead.
