Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Isle of Dogs

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Isle of Dogs and the wider Tower Hamlets area for daytime hourly home care. You’ll be helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands — the kind of hands-on, dignified visits that make a real difference to someone’s day. Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit carers who want control: you pick the clients you work with, the neighbourhoods you’ll cover and the hours you accept. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas, Isle of Dogs offers flexible daytime work that fits school runs, college timetables or part-time routines. Typical rates fall in £18.80–£20 per hour and you set your own price as a self-employed carer.

PrimeCarers does the paperwork so you can get on with care. We find families who need hourly support, handle client introductions, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a PrimeCarers booking. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We welcome experienced home carers from Isle of Dogs and nearby areas including Cubitt Town, Millwall, Canary Wharf, Blackwall, Surrey Quays and Poplar who want honest, straightforward work without agency restrictions.

What you can expect on typical daytime visits: friendly companionship, supporting personal care like washing and dressing, meal preparation, helping with medicines as agreed, light domestic tasks and short errands. Each booking explains the tasks required so you can accept only the work that suits your skills and comfort level.

PrimeCarers is aimed at carers who value independence, clear communication and predictable admin. You’ll handle your own tax and scheduling as a self-employed worker, while we take care of client matching and the billing side. If you’d like help setting an hourly rate or arranging your DBS, our team will guide you through the next steps.
