Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self‑employed carers to provide hourly home care in Paddington and nearby neighbourhoods. Daytime visits typically involve personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication prompts and running light errands — all delivered in clients' own homes across Paddington and parts of Westminster. You’ll be able to offer the care you’re trained for, on terms that suit you.
Right now, 225 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits practitioners who want to step away from agency rotas and take more control. You choose your clients, your hours and your service area, whether you prefer short morning calls, longer daytime visits or regular afternoons. Many carers on PrimeCarers set rates within £18.80–£20 per hour and update them as they see fit; you remain fully self‑employed and in charge of your diary.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork: we arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That means less admin and more time supporting people in their homes across Paddington, Bayswater and surrounding streets. We also help with practical checks and verification so you can focus on care.
The basics you’ll need to join are clear and simple:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check. (If you don’t have one, PrimeCarers can help arrange it.)
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Typical daytime duties include support with washing and dressing, meal preparation and assistance to take medicines as prescribed, companionship and light errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. You won’t be asked to perform clinical tasks outside your qualifications. Most carers working through PrimeCarers cover Paddington and nearby areas such as Bayswater, Little Venice, Lisson Grove, Maida Vale, St. Marylebone and Marylebone — travel expectations are set by you when you create your profile.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile usually goes live within days. PrimeCarers then introduces you to local families and manages bookings and payments — leaving you to provide excellent care without the usual admin burden. If you’re an experienced carer in Paddington looking for flexible, rewarding hourly home care work, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.
