Description
Are you an experienced carer in Slade Green looking for a gentler, more flexible way to work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed companionship carers with local families who need conversation, outings, hobbies and light help around the home. You choose who you care for, the hours you take and the area you cover — many carers in Slade Green and across Bexley prefer this control to agency routines. Right now, 169 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical companionship support includes spending time chatting, accompanying people to local shops or GP appointments, encouraging hobbies and interests, joining walks or community activities, and providing reassurance and light household help like making drinks, preparing simple meals or tidying up. These roles suit carers who enjoy building friendships, have a calm, patient manner and take pride in enabling independence.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and availability. Typical roles currently pay around £18.80–£20 per hour and you remain in charge of how you work. PrimeCarers does the back-office: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means less paperwork for you and more time with people who need company.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t present specific shifts here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Slade Green, and nearby areas including Colyers, Barnes Cray, Erith, Northumberland Heath, Crayford and Barnehurst. You remain independent: choose clients that fit your skills and availability.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload basic checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Many carers move to PrimeCarers from agency work because they want more predictable admin, clearer pay and the freedom to accept only the work they want.
