Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Rotherhithe

PrimeCarers connects self-employed Care Assistants directly with families in Rotherhithe for daytime hourly home care. You’ll provide personal care, help with meals, support with medication prompts and run small errands to help people stay living independently in their own homes. Right now, 158 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work is hands-on and relational: short daytime visits, regular hourly rounds or a handful of clients who need dependable support across Rotherhithe and the wider borough. You’ll be assisting with washing and dressing, continence support where required, meal preparation, prompting medications and helping with shopping or appointments when needed. It’s the kind of role that suits carers who enjoy practical tasks and building steady relationships with families.

We’re looking for experienced carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience. You must have the right to work in the UK, be able to provide verifiable references and hold an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it). These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Rotherhithe and neighbouring parts of Southwark for people who want more control over their work.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £18.89–£21 per hour depending on the care required and your experience. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and insurance is included while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

You can expect to work locally — many carers cover Rotherhithe and nearby areas such as Surrey Quays, Millwall, Wapping, Canary Wharf, Limehouse and Bermondsey — so you can pick clients that fit your travel preferences and availability. Because you’re self-employed you can accept or decline bookings to shape a routine that actually fits your life.

If you’re used to agency rounds but want clearer pay control, fewer rota surprises and a simpler admin process, PrimeCarers is designed for that next step. Create a profile, upload your DBS and references and start talking directly to families in Rotherhithe and Southwark. It’s straightforward, honest and built for carers who want to keep doing great care on their own terms.
