Private Carer Jobs in Northfleet

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Northfleet who need daytime hourly home care. You’ll provide personal care, help with washing and dressing, prepare meals, support with medication prompts and do light errands or shopping — all in clients’ own homes. Many local families prefer regular daytime visits that fit around their routines and your availability.

Right now, 75 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to keep hands-on care at the heart of what they do. You choose which clients to accept, which hours to work and how far you’ll travel around Northfleet and the surrounding areas of Kent. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, but because you’re self-employed you set your own rates and decide what’s right for your experience and travel.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we introduce you to clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on assignments found through the platform. That means you can concentrate on care, not paperwork. You’ll remain self-employed and free to accept or decline bookings without shift obligations imposed by an employer.

• Type of work: Short daytime visits and regular hourly calls for personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands.
• Location: Mostly Northfleet with bookings often nearby — reach clients in Gravesend, Swanscombe and Greenhithe, Tilbury, Grays, West Tilbury and Chafford Hundred and other Kent communities.
• Rates: Set by you; typical ranges are shown on the platform (see £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day where relevant).

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. If you don’t yet have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help you arrange one. We verify documents and references quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Working with PrimeCarers is a good step if you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines but still want regular visits and a steady flow of introductions. You remain in control of your diary and service area, can accept short or long visits, and build relationships that suit you and the families you support in Northfleet and across Kent.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to change how you work, create a profile and start choosing the clients and hours that fit your life. Applications take minutes, and many carers in Northfleet are active on the platform within a few days.
