Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Brentwood

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Brentwood who need daytime support at home. Hourly home care visits typically include personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and light errands. You choose the clients you want, where you’ll work and the hours you take on; PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Right now, 41 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This platform is aimed at carers who want more control than agency work usually offers. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references you could be a good fit. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if you don’t already have it.

Pay is set by you — many carers on PrimeCarers set rates in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and choose the hours and clients that suit them. Roles are self-employed, so you invoice through the platform and set the terms of each booking. Whether you prefer short daytime calls or regular hourly shifts, you remain in control of your diary.

Day-to-day tasks are straightforward and rewarding: personal care, companionship, preparing meals, medication prompts, shopping and errands, supporting mobility and encouraging independence. Most requests in Brentwood are for daytime visits rather than overnight stays, making this a good match if you prefer daytime work in the community. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, takes care of the paperwork and payment admin, and includes insurance while you're on a booking.

Coverage includes Brentwood and the surrounding area, including Harold Park, Noak Hill, Harold Wood, Harold Hill, Cranham and Gallows Corner. Applying takes minutes online and profiles normally go live within days of verification. You’ll need to upload ID to prove your right to work, provide references and either an Enhanced DBS or confirmation you’ll obtain one — PrimeCarers can assist with that process.
