Description

Daytime, hourly home care in Rochford — visiting clients in their own homes to help with personal care, meals, medication and errands. If you’re an experienced, self-employed carer who wants to work flexibly and keep control of your day, this platform connects you directly with families looking for reliable daytime support. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are short, regular visits — helping people remain independent in their own homes. Typical tasks include personal care, meal preparation, prompting or administering medication where agreed, companionship and running local errands. You’ll be offering hourly home care across Rochford and the surrounding area, including places such as Stroud Green, Prettlewell, Southend on Sea, Southend, Hockley and Westcliff on Sea. Many carers move to this kind of work after agency experience because it gives more variety and more control over who they support.

Pay and flexibility are at the heart of how PrimeCarers works. You are self-employed and set your own rates and availability; many carers work within £18.80–£20 per hour though you choose what to charge. You also pick the hours and clients that fit your life — daytime visits that suit school runs, family commitments or other work. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

  • Minimum experience: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • Checks: an Enhanced DBS is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed.
