Description

Looking for more control over your work as a carer in Newington? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed visiting carers with local families needing daytime support in their own homes. You’ll make short daytime visits to help with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, shopping and light errands — all focused on keeping people safe and independent where they live. Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of role suits carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with the people they support. On PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area across Newington and nearby parts of Lambeth. You set the rate you charge and can expect typical rates of £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care and your experience.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working with a family through the platform, insurance is included. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they enjoy the variety of daytime visiting work across Newington and neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Elephant and Castle, Bankside, Blackfriars, Temple, Kennington and Walworth.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed: you decide which bookings to accept and how many hours you want to work. We don’t advertise a single position here — this is an ongoing set of self-employed opportunities across Newington and the wider Lambeth area.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and upload your DBS when ready. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then PrimeCarers will start matching you with local families seeking visiting carers for daytime support. If you want a clearer idea of the kinds of daytime visits available in Newington, or how rates are set, our team is happy to talk you through the process.

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from rota-driven agency shifts and toward more control over your work-life balance, PrimeCarers could be a good fit. You keep your professional independence, choose the hours that suit you, and get administrative support so you can spend more time doing what you do best — caring for people in their own homes in Newington.
