Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Kensal Green for daytime hourly home care. You’ll visit people in their own homes to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands — all as ongoing self‑employed opportunities where you choose your clients, hours and service area. Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rates and keep the flexibility. Typical rates for these roles sit around £18.80–£20.10 per hour, and many carers prefer setting rates that reflect their experience and travel. You choose which visits to accept, which clients you’ll work with and how many hours to carry out each week in and around Kensal Green.
The work is daytime, visit‑based hourly care: washing and dressing, supporting safe mealtimes, helping with medication reminders, light domestic tasks and local errands. These visits are ideal for experienced carers who like independent working, building trusting relationships and delivering consistent, person‑centred care in the community — including nearby parts of Brent.
What you’ll need to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent paid work.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments so you can concentrate on care.

Applying takes minutes: complete a short profile, upload your documents and references, and we aim to have profiles live within days of verification.
