Description
Work as a self-employed private carer in Leamouth, providing daytime hourly home care visits to people who need help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and local errands. Visits are typically short, regular or flexible, and you’ll support people to stay independent in their own homes. Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is a practical, hands-on role for experienced carers who value control and variety. If you’re used to agency routines but want to choose who you work with, when you work and where, PrimeCarers is built for that. Carers set their own rates, pick clients and decide their service area across Leamouth and nearby neighbourhoods in Tower Hamlets.
Pay varies by the care required and your chosen rate, with most carers on the platform charging around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and duties. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.
What the work looks like
Typical daytime visits include personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), preparing meals, prompting or administering medication as agreed, and running small errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. Shifts are hourly visits rather than live-in arrangements. You’ll meet people in their own homes across Leamouth and surrounding areas, including Poplar, Blackwall, Canning Town, Cubitt Town, Canary Wharf and Bromley-by-Bow.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
We welcome skilled carers who want predictable, respectful work but the freedom to choose clients and hours. Many carers join after a period with agencies and find the control and clarity refreshing.
