Description

If you’re an experienced carer looking for flexible daytime visiting work in Foots Cray, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and short errands — quiet, meaningful daytime visits that fit around your life. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.

Right now, 175 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of role suits carers who want to be self-employed, set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area they work in. To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We welcome carers who already work in and around Foots Cray and neighbouring areas including Ruxley, Albany Park, Sidcup, North Cray, Upper Ruxley and Old Bexley — many carers find the short daytime visits ideal if you’re balancing other work or family commitments.

Pay is set by you; typical hourly rates for visiting care are around £18.80–£20 per hour and you decide the level of care you provide and the hours you accept. PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we find clients, draw up the contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include cover while you’re on a visit. There’s no central rota to fit into — you accept the jobs that suit you and the families you want to work with.

What the day-to-day looks like: helping with washing and dressing, supporting with meals and drinks, medication prompts, companionship, light domestic tasks and short errands. Visits are daytime and usually short, allowing you to visit several clients in a day if you wish. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post — you’ll match with families who need regular visiting care in Foots Cray and wider Bexley borough.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers promotes your profile to families in your chosen service area and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. If you’re ready for more control over your work, less agency administration and cleaner, faster payments, this could be a straightforward change.
