Description
If you provide compassionate daytime home care and want more control over your work, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across West Norwood and Lambeth. You’ll carry out hourly visits offering personal care, meal support, medication prompts and light errands — all in clients’ own homes.
Right now, 158 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than a single post. Carers set their own rates and choose which clients and hours to accept; typical rates sit at £18.89–£21.30 per hour. Visits are usually daytime and focused on maintaining independence, dignity and routine for people who prefer to stay at home. You’ll be helping with washing and dressing, supporting meals, prompting medication and doing short errands such as shopping or pharmacy runs.
