Description

Looking for flexible daytime home care work in Harlesden and the surrounding Brent area? PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families who need reliable hourly visits for personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and running errands. You pick the clients, set your availability and choose the areas you cover. Right now, 138 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work — not one specific job — suited to carers who value autonomy and want to move away from agency rules. Typical visits are short daytime calls, repeat bookings or regular daytime hours supporting people in their own homes across Harlesden and nearby neighbourhoods such as Willesden, Kensal Green, Park Royal, Dollis Hill, Old Oak Common and Brent Park. You decide how many hours to take and which clients fit your experience and values.

Pay is set by you: many carers choose rates within £19–£21.50 per hour depending on experience and the care required. PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care. We arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

  • The kind of support you’ll provide — daytime hourly visits assisting with personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), meal preparation and prompting, medication reminders, light household tasks and local errands like shopping or prescriptions.
  • Who this suits — people with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their work, those leaving agency shifts, or carers already self-employed who want steady local connections in Harlesden and Brent.
  • What you need to join — at least 1 year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
  • How PrimeCarers supports you — we find clients, handle contracts and payments, and include insurance while you’re working via the platform. You remain self-employed and free to set your own rates, service area and hours.

Ready to take control of your care work in Harlesden? The application is quick: create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify your checks. Profiles typically go live within days, letting you start choosing local clients straight away. If you work across Brent or closer to Willesden, Kensal Green or Park Royal, you can list those areas when you sign up.
