Description
If you’re an experienced carer who wants to leave agency routines and work more independently in Whetstone, this is for you. PrimeCarers introduces self-employed carers to local families needing daytime hourly home care: personal care, meal support, medication prompts and errands, usually in clients’ own homes around Whetstone and nearby areas. Right now, 214 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The work is day visits and short runs of support rather than live-in placements. You’ll be visiting people in their homes to help with washing, dressing, continence support, preparing meals, administering or prompting medication, shopping and small errands, and companionship. These roles suit carers who value professional, face-to-face support and who are comfortable working independently in the community around Whetstone and Enfield.
PrimeCarers connects you directly with families, while taking care of the paperwork: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay sits in the range £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the role and level of care needed.
Requirements to join are straightforward and practical. You need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We verify your documents and references so families can trust the carers on our platform.
Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from rota-driven agency life while keeping the steady stream of referrals and the admin support agencies used to provide. You remain self-employed: you choose the hours that suit you, the clients you visit and how far you’ll travel. Our carers commonly cover Whetstone and surrounding communities such as Oakleigh Park, Totteridge, Brunswick Park, Barnet, Woodside Park and East Barnet.
Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload ID and references, and — once verified — your profile typically goes live within days. After that you can review enquiries, accept assignments that suit you and manage your working week directly with families through our platform.
If you want daytime, hourly home care work in Whetstone that fits your life and values, join PrimeCarers and keep the control while we handle the admin side. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single role. Profiles usually go live within days of verification.
