Description
Looking for daytime visiting carer work in Erith and the Bexley borough? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need regular, hourly home care: short daytime visits to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and local errands. You’ll support people in their own homes across Erith and surrounding streets, keeping visits focused and respectful.
Right now, 174 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers. As a visiting carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and working pattern — many carers choose rates within £18.80–£20 per hour — and you pick which clients, hours and service area you want to accept. If you live around Erith you can also choose to work near neighbours in Lessness Heath, Colyers, Northumberland Heath, Slade Green, Belvedere and Barnehurst.
Typical daytime visits involve:
- Helping with personal care like washing and dressing.
- Preparing meals and supporting refreshments.
- Medication prompts and basic administration routines.
- Running local errands, appointments or short companionship visits.
PrimeCarers handles the business side so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. That means less paperwork than running completely independently, with the freedom to remain self‑employed and in control of your time across Erith and Bexley.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start being contacted by families soon after approval.
If you’re thinking about leaving agency work, PrimeCarers offers a straightforward alternative: choose the clients and hours that fit your life, set a rate you’re comfortable with, and keep the autonomy of self‑employment while avoiding much of the admin. Many carers who work across Erith report more predictable daytime routines and clearer paperwork.
