Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families looking for daytime visiting care in Whitechapel and across Tower Hamlets. These are ongoing opportunities for hourly home care: short daytime visits to support people in their own homes with personal care, meal support, medication prompts and local errands. You choose which clients you take on, which hours you work and the area you cover. Right now, 239 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work suits carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families. Most visits are hourly daytime calls, focused on dignified, practical support: helping someone wash and dress, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication if trained, and running small errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits can be stand-alone daytime calls or part of a regular weekly pattern chosen by you. You’ll find opportunities across Whitechapel and nearby neighbourhoods including Shadwell, Spitalfields, Aldgate, Tower Hill, Shoreditch and Wapping.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and working pattern. Typical local rates fall in £18.80–£20 per hour, and you decide the exact charge for each client. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and you’re covered by insurance while you’re working for bookings arranged through the platform.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You must be able to demonstrate the skills and conduct needed for home visiting care. We do not offer employed roles; the platform supports self-employed carers who prefer independence over agency models.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing clients and accepting bookings. Many carers who move from agency work choose PrimeCarers for the clearer control over rates, hours and the chance to build one-to-one working relationships with families in Whitechapel.

If you want daytime visiting work in Whitechapel that fits around your life, with the business admin handled for you and insurance included while you work, joining PrimeCarers is straightforward.
