Private Carer Jobs in Bermondsey

If you’re an experienced carer in Bermondsey looking to move away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers puts you in control. These are self-employed, hourly home care opportunities — daytime visits supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Most of the care we place around Bermondsey and neighbouring streets is for short daytime visits: help with washing and dressing, support at mealtimes, companionship and help collecting prescriptions or groceries. The role suits someone who values the variety of in-home visits and wants the reward of one-to-one time with clients rather than long institutional shifts. Southwark families often ask for carers who can offer calm, reliable support and good communication with relatives.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed and set your own rates within local norms. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour. You decide your availability and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We don’t ask you to move to a fixed rota — you select the visits that suit your life and commitments. Many carers who switch from agency work keep the structure they like while gaining freedom over who they support.

Working through PrimeCarers you remain self-employed, so you manage your own tax and record-keeping. We make onboarding quick: applying takes minutes, and verified profiles typically go live within days.
