Description

You’ll be doing daytime hourly home care visits in Potters Bar, supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer short visits and variety across the local area rather than block shifts: typical work is hands-on, respectful and centred on the person’s routines. Right now, 177 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers use the flexibility to build a reliable round of daytime calls in Potters Bar and nearby towns such as Hadley Wood, Monken Hadley, High Barnet, Crews Hill, New Barnet and Cockfosters. The typical range for these hourly home care roles is £18.80–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We put contracts in place, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work on assignments we introduce. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their time and working relationships. You’ll be visiting people in their homes for planned daytime calls; you’ll need to be comfortable with personal care, supporting with meals and drinks, prompting or administering medication when required, and running small errands.
