Description
We connect experienced, self-employed visiting carers with families across Westminster who need reliable daytime help at home. The work is hourly home care: short daytime visits that support people with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. As a PrimeCarers carer you choose who you work with, set your own hours and set your own rates — many carers in the area work within £18.80–£20 per hour.
Right now, 225 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, flexible care work rather than a single role. You’ll see requests from households in Westminster and nearby areas such as Millbank, Pimlico, St Jamess, London, Belgravia and Charing Cross. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. You remain self-employed at all times, so you manage your diary and the clients you accept.
The kind of daytime visiting work you can expect includes: helping people with washing and dressing, preparing meals and supporting with drinks and snacks, prompting or administering medication as agreed, shopping and small errands, and friendly companionship during short visits. Visits are typically hourly daytime sessions with clear notes for each client — ideal if you want variety and control over where you work.
This role suits carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control than agency patterns often allow. To join you must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed). We verify documents and references before profiles go live.
Applying takes minutes. You create a profile, add your experience and references, and tell us the areas you’ll cover around Westminster and within Greater London. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start reviewing requests and choosing clients straight away.
We won’t promise specific hours or income, because you set your own rates and pick the jobs you want. What we do provide is the platform and support to help you find ongoing visiting care work, manage contracts and invoices, and get paid promptly. If you’re an experienced carer ready to move away from rigid rota-based agency work, PrimeCarers offers a straightforward way to keep doing the care you love with the flexibility you need.
