This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work often allows. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept and decide your hours and service area in and around Ladywell and Lewisham. You’ll find a mix of short daytime visits and longer hourly calls; the platform shows opportunities so you can pick work that fits your life. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£20 per hour.

Day-to-day you might help with:

• Personal care — washing, dressing and continence support, delivered respectfully and safely.
• Meals — preparing breakfasts and lunches, supporting eating where needed.
• Medication — reminding clients to take prescribed meds and supporting simple administration routines.
• Errands and appointments — shopping, collecting prescriptions and accompanying clients to local appointments.

If you know Ladywell and neighbouring areas like Crofton Park, Catford, Brockley, Hither Green, Honor Oak and Kidbrooke, this role lets you work locally and build ongoing relationships. PrimeCarers handles the finding of clients, contracts, invoicing and payments for the bookings you accept. Insurance while you work is included through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. Apply online — it takes minutes — and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
