As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates.

You may travel from across the country for live-in placements; opportunities often come in Chinbrook and nearby areas such as Grove Park, Mottingham, Middle Park, Horn Park, New Eltham and Hither Green.

Live-in care work often includes personal care, supporting meals, medication prompts, companionship, mobility support and keeping a safe environment.
