Description

If you’re an experienced carer based in Horn Park who prefers the control of self-employment, PrimeCarers connects you with families who need daytime, hourly home care. Visits typically involve personal care, preparing meals, supporting medication routines and running local errands so people can remain independent in their own homes across Horn Park and the Greenwich area.
Right now, 205 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work suits carers who value meaningful one-to-one time and steady daytime hours. You’ll be matching with households for short visits or longer daytime support; every carer chooses their own clients, working pattern and service area — often covering Horn Park and nearby communities such as Middle Park, Well Hall, Mottingham, Eltham, Grove Park and Chinbrook. You set your own rates and decide which jobs to accept, with typical pay for hourly roles shown as £18.80–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means no agency rota to fit, and no paperwork every week; you remain self-employed and in control.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), 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.

If you’re used to agency shifts but want more autonomy, this is an opportunity to keep delivering high-quality daytime care while deciding your hours and who you work with in Horn Park. We support carers with straightforward contracts, prompt payments and a simple online profile that puts you in touch with families across Horn Park and the wider Greenwich borough.

Ready to take more control of your care work? Create a profile, upload a DBS or let us help you get one, add your experience and references, and start choosing local clients. Many carers on PrimeCarers move from agency work because they want clearer hours, better continuity with clients and the freedom to set a rate that reflects their skills.
