Description
If you’re an experienced carer based in Strood and want more control over your working day, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families looking for daytime, hourly home care. The work is visiting support in people’s own homes — helping with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, supporting mobility and running errands. You pick the clients and the hours that suit you.
Right now, 35 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is for self-employed carers who prefer working hourly visits rather than longer live-in duties. You’ll be helping adults who want to stay independent in their homes across Strood and nearby areas. Visits typically focus on dignity, practical help and companionship during the daytime. Many carers coming from agency work tell us they value the variety and the ability to shape their week in a way that suits family life or other commitments in Kent.
On PrimeCarers you set your own rate as a self-employed carer and choose your service area and clients. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working through the platform. That means you can concentrate on care rather than paperwork.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want flexible, daytime visiting work in Strood. You’ll need the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed) and verifiable references. We do ask for a minimum of one year’s professional experience to join.
How it feels day-to-day: you might do 30–90 minute visits helping someone with personal care and meals, accompany them to appointments, prompt or support medication routines, or collect shopping. You choose the length of visits and how many to accept, making it straightforward to balance other commitments. Many carers cover areas around Strood including Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Snodland, Gravesend and Rainham.
Applying is quick — it takes minutes to create a profile and upload documents. Profiles typically go live within days of verification.
