Description

This is ongoing self-employed work; you choose the clients, hours and service area.

Typical care pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour. Many carers advertise hourly care within £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in support within £145–£160 per day. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and accept the clients and shifts that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.

This role suits someone with patience, a steady approach to routine, and an interest in building trusting relationships. You’ll often work alongside family members and other local services, helping maintain familiar environments and reducing unnecessary change for the person with dementia. Many carers who move from agency work value the continuity and flexibility of choosing regular clients in Brockley and across Lewisham borough.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll manage your availability and bookings yourself and can specialise in dementia support or offer broader care services depending on your experience.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
