Description
Join PrimeCarers to offer hourly home care visits across Bankside, Southwark. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities for daytime care assistants helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and small errands. You’ll visit clients for shorter daytime calls, building steady work around the hours that suit you. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The work you’ll do is practical and people-focused. Typical tasks include helping with washing and dressing, supporting safe meal preparation, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, and doing light shopping or collecting prescriptions. Visits are usually daytime and hourly — the role suits experienced carers who prefer regular daytime visits rather than long shifts.
If you’re used to agency routines but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you be self-employed and set your own rates and availability. Typical pay for these roles is £18.80–£20 per hour and you choose which clients, hours and parts of Bankside you work in. You can also cover nearby areas such as Newington, Blackfriars, Elephant and Castle, Temple, Tower Hill and Aldwych if you wish.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you are working on bookings arranged through the platform. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. Many carers move from agency work to PrimeCarers to keep hands-on care while running their own micro-business.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain fully self-employed and free to accept or decline clients and shifts in Bankside and across Southwark.
This is not a single advertised role but an ongoing opportunity to list your services and connect directly with families who need reliable daytime hourly care. If you value autonomy, steady daytime hours and caring for people in their own homes, creating a PrimeCarers profile could be the next practical step in your career in Bankside. Apply online now and get started in minutes.
