Description
Stepney-based carers: if you want daytime, hourly home care visits where you choose the clients, hours and area, this could be the change you’ve been looking for. On PrimeCarers you’ll do hands-on, hourly care in people’s own homes — personal care, meal prep, medication prompts and errands — and set your own rates. Right now, 122 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The work suits experienced, compassionate carers who prefer one-to-one, local visits across Stepney and nearby neighbourhoods such as Bethnal Green, Ratcliff, Mile End, Cambridge Heath, Shadwell and Whitechapel. You’ll meet people who need reliable daytime support: getting dressed, showering, preparing simple meals, taking medications on time, helping with shopping and local trips, and offering companionship during short visits. Most roles are hourly home care visits during the day; you choose the pattern that fits your life.
Pay and flexibility are central. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, so you control what you charge and who you work for. Typical local rates are £18.80–£20.60 per hour and you decide which clients and hours suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you’re working through the platform. If you currently work for an agency in Tower Hamlets and want more control, this model lets you keep delivering great care without the rota stress.
To join you’ll need at least one 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 ask these to protect the people you’ll visit and to help you build a trusted profile in Stepney. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start connecting with local families quickly.
