Description
Work as a self‑employed carer in Spitalfields providing hourly daytime visits for personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and short errands. These are flexible, local roles for experienced carers who want to stay hands‑on in the community around Spitalfields and nearby neighbourhoods. Right now, 237 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This isn’t one specific role — PrimeCarers is an introductory platform that connects you directly with families looking for reliable daytime support. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you accept and the area you’ll cover, whether that’s central Spitalfields or over to Shoreditch, Whitechapel or Finsbury. Work suits carers who value autonomy, want to reduce agency admin, and prefer short daytime visits rather than shift-based rotas.
Typical duties include helping with personal care (washing, dressing and continence support), meal preparation and drinks, medication prompts, light household tasks and errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are usually hourly home care calls during the day; you’ll meet families in their own homes in Spitalfields and the surrounding area.
Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for this kind of work are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work on a booking. You remain in control of which clients and shifts you accept, so you can build a pattern that fits your life in Spitalfields or wider Islington.
Entry requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do check references and identification as part of verification. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be shown to families in and around Spitalfields quickly.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you care for and when, PrimeCarers makes the move straightforward. Create a profile, complete the verification steps and start choosing daytime visits that suit you. Many carers who join from nearby areas such as Shoreditch, Custom House, Aldgate, Whitechapel, Shadwell and Finsbury find it simpler to match with families close to home.
