Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Blackburn

Work as a self-employed care assistant providing daytime hourly visits in people's own homes across Blackburn. You'll help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands, supporting clients to stay comfortable and independent where they belong. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who value variety and flexibility. Visits are typically short daytime calls and longer support sessions depending on client needs. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own availability and choose which clients you accept, so you can fit care around family life, study or other work commitments. Typical pay is £18.80–£20.50 per hour and you decide your own rate for each client.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we introduce you to local families, handle contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed — you pick your clients, hours and service area within Blackburn and surrounding neighbourhoods like Oswaldtwistle, Darwen, Great Harwood, Clayton le Moors, Accrington and Longridge. Many carers who move from agency work say they appreciate the control over shifts and the clearer relationship with the families they support.

To join you 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 one if you need it). We ask for clear references and identity checks as part of verification so families can trust who they invite into their homes. If you already have an up-to-date DBS, bring it with you to speed things up.

Applying takes minutes. Once you've submitted your profile and documents we verify them and, subject to checks, your profile typically goes live within days. After that you can browse local requests and book visits that suit you across Blackburn and Blackburn with Darwen.
