Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Ashbourne

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Ashbourne who need daytime visits for personal care, meals, medication prompts and help with errands. These opportunities are for hourly home care in people’s own homes — short visits through to longer daytime calls that fit around your life and commitments.

Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing platform of work rather than one specific role. You choose which clients you’ll accept, which hours to work and the area you cover around Ashbourne and beyond. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents and references before your profile goes live.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and choose their own rates. Typical figures for similar hourly home care roles sit in the range £18.80–£21 per hour. If you also work occasional longer days or live-in shifts, the platform will show those opportunities and their relevant ranges such as £18.80–£21 per hour and £145–£160 per day where applicable. There are daytime visits across Ashbourne and nearby towns including Wirksworth, Hazelwood, Gratton, Uttoxeter, Belper and Hatton.

Day-to-day tasks vary with each client but commonly include personal care (washing, dressing), preparing meals, prompting or administering medication per instructions, supporting mobility, and running small errands such as shopping and pharmacy runs. If you’re used to agency work but want more control over who you support and when, this model lets you keep the caring work you enjoy while deciding your own hours and clients.

PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a booking. That means you can focus on delivering care while administrative tasks are taken care of. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable client requests quickly.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload your ID and references, and tell us about your care experience. We’ll guide you through any DBS arrangements if needed. Once verified, you can review client requests around Ashbourne and across Derbyshire, accept only the jobs you want and set the hours that suit you.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and work on your own terms in and around Ashbourne, PrimeCarers makes the transition straightforward and practical.
