Description

Work as a self-employed hourly care assistant in Old Bexley, visiting people in their own homes to help with personal care, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication, and running errands.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to leave agency constraints behind. You set your own rates and can expect typical listings around £18.80–£20 per hour. You also choose which clients you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover in and around Old Bexley. We connect you with families across Old Bexley and nearby areas including Blendon, Lamorbey, North Cray, Blackfen, Albany Park and Sidcup so you can build a sustainable diary that suits you and the people you care for.

How it works day-to-day: most roles are hourly home visits during the day, helping with tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and short errands like shopping or prescription collection. Visits are planned by the family and arranged through PrimeCarers so you can focus on care, not paperwork. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want more control: if you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help you arrange one) and verifiable references, you can join. We know many experienced carers in Bexley prefer flexible hours and direct relationships with families; PrimeCarers gives you that freedom while taking care of the admin.

Applying only takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain fully self-employed — you choose your clients and your schedule, and you set your rates.
