Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Barnet

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant providing daytime home visits across Barnet. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, preparing meals, medication prompts and errands, working alongside families to keep routines comfortable and safe. Right now, 217 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than typical agency work. You set your own rates, choose which clients you accept, and decide the hours and neighbourhoods you cover in Barnet and nearby areas. Typical pay sits in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and you can pick the visits that fit your life and commitments.

Hourly home care duties usually include helping with washing and dressing, supporting mobility, meal preparation and mealtime support, prompting or administrating medication where appropriate, light household tasks and accompanying clients to appointments or social activities. Visits are daytime and hourly-based; you will not be asked to commit to long-term shift patterns unless you choose to.

PrimeCarers takes on the client-finding and admin so you can focus on care. We handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and cover insurance while you are working through the platform. If you need an Enhanced DBS check, PrimeCarers can help arrange this. Applying takes minutes and, once verified, your profile typically goes live within days.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can assist with this);
• The right to work in the UK;
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

If you’re leaving agency life and want to choose the people you work with, build regular daytime clients in Barnet, and control your diary while keeping admin simple, PrimeCarers could be the next step. We work across the borough and in neighbouring towns such as Brunswick Park, East Barnet, Oakleigh Park, Friern Barnet, Whetstone and Arnos Grove. Many carers who join from Enfield and surrounding areas find they can top up existing work or replace agency shifts with hourly visits that pay well and fit around family life.

To apply, create a profile (it takes minutes), upload your ID and documents, and submit references. Once verified your profile is visible to local families and bookings can begin. You remain self-employed, choose your work, and PrimeCarers supports the rest.
