Visiting Carer Jobs in Forest Hill

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Forest Hill for daytime, hourly home visits. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meal prep, medication prompts and short errands — the practical, hands-on work you already do with dignity and calm in Forest Hill and across Southwark. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and decide your service area. You set the rate that suits you and most carers on the platform list within £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers matches you with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits

• Experienced visiting carers ready to leave the agency rota and take more control.
• People who prefer short daytime visits — personal care, helping with meals, prompting medication, companionship and running small errands.
• Carers who want flexibility: pick morning, afternoon or mixed visits in Forest Hill or nearby areas such as Dulwich, Honor Oak, Sydenham Hill, Upper Sydenham, Sydenham and Crofton Park.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Day-to-day you’ll be meeting people in their own homes, completing agreed care tasks and leaving clear notes for the family. Visits are hourly and usually during the day; you decide the areas of Forest Hill and Southwark you want to cover and how many clients to take on. PrimeCarers supports invoicing, client contracts and payments so you can spend time caring, not chasing paperwork.

If you want a more independent way of working without giving up support, this could be the change you’re looking for. The sign-up is straightforward: create a profile, submit checks and references, and start choosing local matches. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
