Description
If you're an experienced carer living or working in Greenwich and want to move away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers can help you offer daytime hourly home care to local families. You’ll do visits in people’s own homes to support with personal care, meals, medication prompts and small errands — the hands‑on, relationship work many carers prefer. Families are looking for reliable, experienced helpers across Greenwich and neighbouring areas. Right now, 216 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover across Greenwich and beyond. You set your own rates and can see typical pay levels when you join. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers brings families to you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
The kind of daytime visits you can expect include personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), meal preparation and feeding, medication prompts or reminders, companionship and light shopping or errands. These roles suit carers who enjoy working one‑to‑one with clients, building routine and seeing the difference small, consistent visits make.
To join we ask for:
- At least one year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
PrimeCarers is ideal if you want the freedom to move away from agency constraints while keeping the back‑office support — contracts, invoicing and payments are handled for you, and insurance is included while you’re on a care visit. You can focus on care and client relationships in Greenwich and neighbouring communities such as Maze Hill, Deptford, Cubitt Town, Isle of Dogs, Westcombe Park and New Cross.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your documents and references, and we typically have profiles live within days of verification. If you want daytime, hourly home care work across Greenwich and elsewhere in Greater London, set up your profile and start choosing the shifts and clients that suit you.
