Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Maida Vale who need daytime visiting support. Typical visits include personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and light errands. You’ll work in clients’ homes on an hourly basis and can decide how many visits you want to accept. Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

We focus on flexible, ongoing work rather than one-off shifts. Many carers who move from agency routes to PrimeCarers find they can choose clients who suit their skills and availability, and stay in control of the areas they work in across Maida Vale and nearby neighbourhoods. You set your own rates within a typical range of £18.80–£20.10 per hour and choose the number of visits you offer each week. Many roles are hourly visits; typical ranges include £18.80–£20.10 per hour for visiting care and £145–£160 per day for full live-in day cover where agreed.

This style of work suits experienced carers who value autonomy: you pick clients, hours and your service area. PrimeCarers supports you by finding families, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you’re working with a client. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork while still being self-employed.

  • Typical duties: personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), meal prep, medication prompts, companionship and light errands.
  • Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more flexibility than traditional agencies.
  • Requirements 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 and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers is popular across Maida Vale, Little Venice and the surrounding streets; you might also take bookings near Little Venice, St Johns Wood, St John's, Lisson Grove, Queens Park and Kilburn. We work with carers living throughout the Brent borough and beyond, who want predictable, local visiting work without agency rota constraints.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your ID and references, and we’ll guide you through DBS verification if needed. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, families can enquire and you remain free to accept or decline any booking.
