Description

Looking for flexible daytime visiting carer work around Blackheath? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families who need help at home — daytime visits for personal care, meals, medication support and errands. You set your own terms: choose clients, hours and service area around Blackheath and nearby neighbourhoods.
Right now, 215 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific post. Typical assignments are hourly home care visits during the day, supporting clients who want to remain independent at home. Common duties include:

  • Personal care: washing, dressing, continence support and dignity-led assistance.
  • Meals: preparing snacks or light meals and supporting mealtimes.
  • Medication: prompting or assisting with medication as agreed with the family (not clinical nursing tasks).
  • Errands & companionship: shopping, collecting prescriptions, and spending meaningful time with clients.

Many carers who switch from traditional agencies value the freedom PrimeCarers offers. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and keep control over your diary. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the client and duties; you can also see £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly-only roles or £145–£160 per day for different live-in day arrangements where relevant. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their work, more regular daytime hours and direct relationships with families in Blackheath and Lewisham. You should have the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
