Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Acton

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Acton and the wider Ealing area for hourly home care. These daytime visits involve personal care, help with meals, medication prompts, light domestic tasks and errands for people who want to stay independent at home. You’ll be working in clients’ own homes across Acton and nearby neighbourhoods such as Bedford Park, Gunnersbury, Old Oak Common, Park Royal, Chiswick and Wormwood Scrubs.

This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single posting. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20.20 per hour depending on the care required and the hours you take. For clarity, we list the usual ranges you’ll see: £18.80–£20.20 per hour for hourly home care and £145–£160 per day for day-rate live-in work.

What the role looks like

• Short daytime visits or longer hourly calls supporting personal care (washing, dressing), mealtime assistance and medication prompts.
• Practical help like shopping, light domestic tasks and accompanying clients to appointments or local activities.
• Work with a real focus on dignity and building rapport — many families prefer regular carers who get to know their routines.

Who this suits

This is aimed at carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want greater control than agency work normally allows. If you’re based in Acton, splitting time between local clients, or willing to cover parts of Ealing and surrounding districts, this could fit your life and skills.

What PrimeCarers handles

• We introduce you to families and manage contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
• Insurance is included while you’re working through PrimeCarers, and we can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.
• You remain self-employed — that means you invoice for your time and manage your own tax and NI responsibilities.

Requirements to join

To register you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
