If you’re an experienced carer thinking about leaving agency work, this is designed for you. Many local carers move to self-employment to regain control over their days, reduce travel between shifts and build stronger one-to-one relationships with people they support. Woodford Green offers a mix of short daytime calls and longer hourly visits, so you can choose work that fits your life.

Typical duties on hourly home care visits include personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), meal preparation and prompting or administering medication according to instructions, shopping and errands, and providing practical companionship. Visits are daytime and home-based; you won’t be asked to invent my hours or promises for clients — you pick the bookings that suit you.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers work within the £18.80–£20 per hour they choose. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working on booked visits — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Requirements to join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references
