Hourly home care in Mitcham usually involves short daytime calls or longer companion visits. Typical duties include:

• Personal care: assistance with washing, dressing and toileting in the client’s own home.
• Meals and nutrition: preparing hot meals, assisting with eating and monitoring dietary needs.
• Medication prompts: supporting timely medication and safe administration reminders.
• Errands and companionship: shopping, light house tasks and friendly conversation to reduce isolation.

Mitcham carers set their own rates and hours, so if you prefer daytime weekday work or a mix of mornings and afternoons you can arrange that directly with families. Many carers on PrimeCarers choose roles within £18.80–£20.10 per hour but you set your price and decide which clients to accept. You can cover Mitcham and nearby areas including Colliers Wood, Morden, Merton Park, South Wimbledon, Tooting and Norbury. We also have opportunities across Merton borough for those who want a broader patch.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one. While you’re working through the platform, PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance cover for the hours you do with a client.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
