Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Crayford

If you’re an experienced carer based in Crayford looking for daytime, hourly home care work, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families. You’ll visit people in their own homes to provide personal care, help with meals, support with medication and run errands — the hands-on, humane work many of us went into care for. Crayford carers often support people across Bexley and nearby communities, keeping visits focused and local. Right now, 175 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves:

• Personal care: assisting with washing, dressing and continence support.
• Practical help: preparing meals, light domestic tasks and shopping or errands.
• Medication support: prompting and supervised administration where appropriate.
• Companionship: being present, listening and supporting dignity at home.

How working with PrimeCarers is different: you’re self-employed and set your own rates, choose the clients you accept, and pick the hours and service area that suit you. Many carers in Crayford find the flexibility allows them to balance life and work better than traditional agency patterns. Typical rates for this kind of work sit around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and location.

PrimeCarers handles the time-consuming bits so you can focus on care: we help find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working with a family. If you prefer to work around school runs, part-time commitments or aim to build a roster of daytime visits, you control how much you take on.

Who this suits:

• Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over when and who they work with.
• People ready to move away from strict rota-driven shifts and want to focus on short daytime visits in the community.
• Those who can travel locally around Crayford and neighbouring areas such as Barnes Cray, Bexley Village, Slade Green, Barnehurst, Colyers and Dartford.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days after we verify your references and checks. We do not advertise a single role here — this page is for ongoing self-employed opportunities across Crayford and Bexley.
