Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Bridgwater

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families across Bridgwater and the surrounding area. These are ongoing hourly home care opportunities — daytime visits helping clients stay independent in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication support and errands. You choose the clients, hours and service area; the platform finds the matches and handles contracts, invoicing and payments while providing insurance while you work.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits include help with personal care, preparing hot meals, supporting medication prompts and shopping or appointment-related errands. Many families want reliable daytime support for older people or adults with care needs who prefer to stay at home. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you work for and when, Bridgwater offers steady demand and a close‑knit community of clients in town and across Somerset.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed: you set your own hourly rate and choose the bookings that suit you. Typical roles show £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers protects your time on bookings by taking care of the paperwork, client matching, contracts and invoicing so you can focus on care.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care work who want more flexibility than traditional agency shifts.
• Professionals who value autonomy — pick daytime visits in Bridgwater or nearby towns including North Petherton, Highbridge, Burnham on Sea, Taunton, Kilton and Langport.
• Carers who want administrative support while remaining self‑employed and independent.

What you need to join: at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references before your profile goes live. Insurance is included while you’re on bookings arranged through the platform.

Applying takes minutes. Once you submit your profile and documentation, verification usually takes a few days and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’re free to accept or decline matches and to adjust your availability or service area at any time.
