Description

Are you an experienced carer in Sidcup looking to move away from agency restrictions and take control of your work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed visiting carers with families across Sidcup and the wider Bexley area for daytime hourly home care. You’ll help clients in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and light errands, choosing the visits that suit you and your life.
Right now, 132 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a visiting carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Many carers around Sidcup use £18.80–£21 per hour as a guide when deciding rates for daytime hourly care. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

What the role typically involves:

  • Personal care: support with washing, dressing and continence care where needed.
  • Meals: preparing or reheating meals and supporting clients at mealtimes.
  • Medication prompts: reminding or recording when medication is taken (not administering medication beyond your training).
  • Errands and companionship: short shopping trips, collecting prescriptions, or simply spending time with someone at home.

This work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to keep doing high-quality care without long agency shifts. You’ll commonly visit people in Sidcup and nearby areas such as Albany Park, Lamorbey, Foots Cray, Longlands, Old Bexley and Ruxley. Many carers combine a few regular hourly visits with ad hoc bookings to build the pattern that works for them.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies profiles quickly: applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Sidcup and Bexley — not a single role. If you want more autonomy over when and who you care for, and prefer handling fewer administrative headaches, PrimeCarers lets you focus on what matters: safe, compassionate visiting care in people’s homes.
