Description

Are you an experienced carer in Waltham Abbey looking to move away from agency routines and reclaim control over your work? These visiting carer opportunities are for daytime, hourly home care—helping clients with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running local errands. You’ll be working with people in their own homes across Waltham Abbey and the surrounding area. Right now, 165 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

You’ll join PrimeCarers as a self-employed carer, which means you set your own rates and pick the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical roles are paid within the range of £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the client and the service required. Work can be short daytime visits or longer calls — whatever fits your life and the people you support.

This way of working suits carers who value flexibility and professional respect. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over which jobs you accept, where you travel and how you manage your diary, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to do that while still finding the work for you.

PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re on a booking. Many carers choose to cover Waltham Abbey and nearby towns such as Waltham Cross, Cheshunt, Freezywater, Enfield Lock, Brimsdown and Enfield Wash. You remain self-employed, so you manage your own tax and hours but benefit from secure payments and less admin.

To join we ask for a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents quickly so your profile can go live. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

What you’ll do day-to-day: personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), meal preparation and support with eating, medication prompting or assistance, light household tasks and local errands. You’ll work in clients’ homes across Waltham Abbey and Essex, offering a dependable, compassionate presence that helps people stay independent at home.

If you’re ready to set your own rates, choose your hours and work directly with families while PrimeCarers handles the admin, creating your profile is simple. Apply in minutes and start choosing the work that fits your life and values.
