Private Carer Jobs in Swanley

Make daytime hourly visits to support people living at home in Swanley and nearby areas. As a self‑employed private carer you’ll provide personal care, help with meals, support with medication and run errands so clients can stay independent in their own homes. You choose the hours you want, the clients you work for and the area you cover; many carers on our platform pick daytime shifts only and build a steady rota that fits family life and other commitments.

Right now, 151 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work you can expect includes personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), meal preparation and prompting, medication prompting or administration where appropriate, companionship and short errands. These are hourly home care visits rather than live‑in roles. Carers commonly set rates within the platform’s typical range of £18.80–£20 per hour while agreeing directly with families.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want to leave agency rota pressures behind and take control of the work they accept. You’ll still have the comfort of administrative support: PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self‑employed, set your own fees and choose which clients to accept.

To join in Swanley (and neighbouring suburbs) we ask for 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. Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We’ll also help you put together a clear profile so families in Swanley and Kent can see the skills and experience you bring.

If you want daytime, hourly visits that fit around your life and give you more control, this is a practical route away from agency routines. You remain in charge of your diary and your rates, while PrimeCarers takes care of client introductions and the admin that can otherwise take up your time. Ready to see what’s available in Swanley?
