This work is aimed at experienced carers who want to move away from agency routines and be their own boss. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients, hours and service area you cover in and around Honor Oak and Southwark. You set your own approach to companionship and can arrange visits to suit the person you’re supporting and your diary.

Pay is set by you — many carers advertise rates around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the visit pattern. You’re free to accept short regular calls, longer companionship shifts or occasional outings; pick the clients and times that suit you. The platform shows the typical hourly and live‑in ranges so you can decide what to charge and which bookings to take.

• Minimum experience: at least one year of paid care work.
• DBS: an Enhanced DBS check is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• Right to work: you must have the legal right to work in the UK.
• References: verifiable professional references are needed for verification.

PrimeCarers finds families who want companionship care and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments for you, with insurance included while you work. That means less paperwork and more time building meaningful relationships. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — then you can start choosing clients in Honor Oak, nearby areas such as Crofton Park, Forest Hill, Peckham Rye, Dulwich, Brockley and Ladywell, and across Southwark.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single posted role.

Many carers make the switch from agency work because they want flexibility, clearer hours and more control over who they care for.
