Description
Work as a visiting carer in Upton Park, offering daytime hourly visits that help people stay independent in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication and errands. Visits suit experienced carers who prefer short blocks of time and a variety of household settings. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing self-employed work across Upton Park and the wider Newham area. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area, meaning you can build a pattern of daytime visits that matches your life. Typical rates for visiting care sit around £18.80–£20 per hour, but as a self-employed carer you set the hourly fee that works for you.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. If you are used to agency routines and want more control over the work you do, PrimeCarers gives you the flexibility to accept only the visits you want and to plan your week around other commitments.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who enjoy short daytime visits, good timekeeping and straightforward practical tasks — helping with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication and running light errands.
- Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- Choice and control: choose your clients, set the hours you’ll work and define your service area — many carers take visits in and around Upton Park and neighbouring towns such as Plaistow, East Ham, Forest Gate, West Ham, Manor Park and Canning Town.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed and can balance visiting care with other work, family or study commitments. PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, secure payment processing and a straightforward contract structure so you can start offering reliable daytime visits without lengthy admin.
