Visiting Carer Jobs in West Ham

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed visiting carers to support people in their own homes across West Ham. These are daytime, hourly visits helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands. You’ll meet clients in familiar neighbourhoods of West Ham and nearby areas, and choose the hours and clients that fit your life. Right now, 122 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you set your own rate and work on your own terms — many carers use £18.89–£21 per hour as a guide when they start. You decide your service area and which people you’ll support. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less admin and more time doing the care you prefer in West Ham.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK, this is a straightforward move away from agency shift patterns. You’ll be a good fit if you value flexibility, want more control of your working day, and enjoy visiting people in their homes. Many carers who join PrimeCarers come from agency roles and stay because they can pick the clients and hours that suit them in West Ham.

Typical duties during an hourly home-visit include helping with personal care (washing, dressing, continence support where needed), preparing meals or offering mealtime assistance, prompting or supporting with medication administration within agreed tasks, companionship and shopping or local errand runs. Visits vary in length—short calls for practical tasks and longer calls for personal care and companionship. You won’t be asked to provide clinical procedures beyond your training and any agreed care plan.

Requirements to join are simple and clear: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, choose clients and manage your diary. PrimeCarers supports you with contracts, invoicing, client introductions and insurance while you work.

We welcome carers across West Ham and the surrounding neighbourhoods such as Forest Gate, Maryland, Upton Park, Plaistow, Cann Hall and Bromley-by-Bow. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start connecting with local families quickly.
