Description

Looking for flexible, daytime home care work in Twickenham? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers with families who need hourly visits for personal care, meal support, medication prompts and errands. You’ll work with adults in their own homes across Twickenham and the surrounding neighbourhoods, helping people stay safe and comfortable where they live. Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want to move away from rigid agency rotas and take control of their day. As a carer on PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients and hours you accept, and define the service area you cover. Typical rates on the platform are £18.80–£20.90 per hour and you remain in control of the work you take on in Twickenham and across Richmond upon Thames.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing opportunities around Twickenham quickly.

Who we’re looking for:

  • Minimum one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

You’ll visit clients during daytime hours to help with personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), meal preparation and prompts, medication reminders and light errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. Many carers choose short hourly visits; others arrange longer daytime calls. You decide what fits your life and your skills, whether you prefer regular work in one area of Twickenham or a mix across nearby suburbs such as Strawberry Hill, Eel Pie Island, St Margarets, Ham, Teddington and Hampton Hill.

If you’re used to agency work and want clearer control over your shifts, pay and clients, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. We support you through verification, help set up your public profile, and provide a simple booking and payment system that protects both you and the families you work with.

Ready to apply? It only takes minutes to create a profile. Gather your references and DBS information (or ask us about arranging one), upload your details and we’ll verify everything. Once approved, your profile can go live within days so local families in Twickenham and Richmond upon Thames can find you.
