Description

Work as a self-employed private carer in Knightsbridge offering daytime hourly visits. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands, building relationships with the same families rather than moving between agency rotas. Carers set their own hours, choose the clients they want and decide their service area, so you can focus on quality care while keeping the control. Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day tasks typically include helping with personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, light domestic tasks and shopping or escorting to local appointments. Visits are usually daytime and hourly, allowing you to balance other commitments. Work often comes from households across Knightsbridge and nearby areas such as Belgravia, South Kensington, Chelsea, Greenhill, Mayfair and Pimlico, while occasional roles are listed in Westminster itself.

This platform is for experienced carers who want a more independent way of working. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. You’ll remain self-employed and set your own rates, with typical pay around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the client and responsibilities.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working on jobs booked through the platform. That means you keep the freedom of self-employment but don’t have to manage every detail alone. Applying takes minutes and, once your documents and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you visit and when, this is a practical step. You’ll be matched with local families seeking dependable daytime care and you can accept only the shifts that suit you. Roles in Knightsbridge often involve regular, familiar visits rather than one-off assignments, so carers who value continuity and relationship-based work do well here.

To apply, create a profile, provide your references and right-to-work evidence and tell us about your experience. We’ll guide you through the DBS process if needed and support you while you set rates and availability. Most candidates complete the sign-up in under an hour and can be visible to families in a few days.
