Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Dulwich and the wider Southwark area for daytime visiting care. These ongoing opportunities are for carers who want to step away from agency routines and take control of who they support, when they work and how much they charge. You’ll be visiting clients in their own homes to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and everyday errands, often for short daytime visits or regular hourly calls.
Right now, 155 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically suits carers who already bring at least a year’s professional care experience and who enjoy hands-on, relational care. Many roles are near Dulwich town centre and out towards Forest Hill, Sydenham Hill, East Dulwich, Upper Sydenham, Honor Oak and Peckham Rye, so you can pick clients within travel distances that suit you. Visits commonly include helping with washing and dressing, preparing simple meals, prompting medicines, light domestic or shopping tasks, and accompanying clients to appointments or social activities.
