Visiting Carer Jobs in New Cross

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in New Cross and across Lewisham for daytime visiting home care. You’ll work on hourly visits, helping people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands, while keeping control of who you work for and when. Carers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area.

Right now, 211 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits carers who want more autonomy than agency life without losing practical support. You’ll be offering short daytime visits and ongoing hourly care calls: helping with washing and dressing, supporting safe meals, prompting or administering medication (as agreed with the client), collecting shopping or prescriptions and offering companionship during visits. These roles are based in New Cross neighbourhoods and nearby streets, and many carers cover close-by areas such as New Cross Gate, Deptford, Brockley, Nunhead, Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward so you can focus on care. We find clients and handle contracts, invoices and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, set your own rate within the local range and accept only the shifts you want. Typical rates for this kind of visiting care fall around £18.80–£20 per hour.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one as part of verification. We verify credentials quickly so profiles typically go live within days of submission.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your ID and references, and choose the service area you’ll cover.
