Typical day visits suit experienced carers who prefer short, focused shifts rather than live‑in work. You’ll be supporting people with tasks such as washing and dressing, helping with mobility, preparing meals and accompanying clients to appointments or shops. Many clients want consistent daytime visits, often in Ilford, but opportunities also exist in nearby communities including Loxford, Little Ilford, Seven Kings, Manor Park, Newbury Park and Barking. We also list roles across Redbridge borough where demand often overlaps.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rate and keep control of your work — the platform shows typical ranges to help you price competitively and fairly. Expect to see roles in the range £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work on a booking arranged through the service.

Who this suits: experienced care workers with at least one year of professional care experience who want flexible daytime hours and direct relationships with families. You must have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one) and verifiable references. We do check experience and references before profiles go live; most carers’ profiles are active within days of verification.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload ID and references, and choose the area you want to serve around Ilford and Redbridge. Once verified you can browse enquiries, accept clients that fit your preferences and manage bookings on your own terms. There’s no imposed rota — you plan the hours that suit you.
