Description

Looking for daytime, hourly home care work in Homerton? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with local families who need help with personal care, meal support, medication prompts and short errands — daytime visits typically lasting one to a few hours. Right now, 145 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This style of work suits experienced carers who value control over their working life. You’ll be visiting clients in their own homes across Homerton and nearby areas, offering personal care, helping with meals, supporting medication routines (where the client or their family directs), and running light errands. If you prefer daytime visiting shifts rather than full-time agency rotas, these roles put you in charge of what you accept and when.

Pay is decided by you — carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical ranges are shown to help families and carers find a fit: £18.80–£21 per hour for roles like these, with hourly-care guides at £18.80–£21 per hour (and live-in day guidance at £148–£163.50 per day where relevant). You choose clients, hours and the area you work in; PrimeCarers finds introductions and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Who we're looking for in Homerton and across Hackney:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

We know many carers come from agency backgrounds and want more autonomy without extra admin. With PrimeCarers you run your own micro-business: set your availability, accept the clients that suit you, and keep clear, straightforward records while we take care of matching and billing. You can work across Homerton and around Hackney Central, Lower Clapton, Hackney Wick, Victoria Park, Hackney Marshes and South Hackney, choosing the distance that fits your day.

Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is quick. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable daytime visits soon after you join. We’re honest about what we do: we help you meet families, manage paperwork and provide insurance while you work — the rest is up to you.

If you’re ready to keep delivering great care on your terms in Homerton — with support from PrimeCarers and flexible, local work in Hackney — start your profile today. You remain in control, we handle the matching and admin, and local families get consistent, experienced carers.
