Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Brighouse

Work as an hourly care assistant visiting people in their own homes across Brighouse and surrounding neighbourhoods. Daytime visits typically cover personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands, all delivered with dignity and practical common sense. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single post.
Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you currently work for an agency or want more control over the hours you do, this role suits experienced carers who value flexibility. Shifts are usually short daytime visits but vary by client needs — some days you may be doing a couple of calls, other days several. You’ll support people with washing and dressing, continence care, meal support, companionship, shopping runs and basic medication prompting. Many carers find the work rewarding because they can build regular local relationships and see real improvements in people’s day‑to‑day lives.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients you accept. Typical work falls into the range £18.50–£19.50 per hour depending on the client and the visit type. You also choose your own hours and service area, so you can focus on Brighouse or travel out to nearby towns like Elland, Cleckheaton, Halifax, Huddersfield, Mirfield and Heckmondwike when you prefer. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you spend more time caring and less time on paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We won’t ask you to invent qualifications; we want to see practical, recent experience. If you have specialist skills (dementia care, PEG care, complex needs) make sure these are clear on your profile — they help clients match with you but aren’t mandatory to start.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you want to work mainly in Brighouse or elsewhere in West Yorkshire, you control the distance you travel and the clients you accept. Many carers switch from agency work to PrimeCarers because they want better control over their time, clearer pay per hour and direct relationships with families. If that sounds like the next step for you, set up your profile and start seeing local opportunities within days.
