Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Brighton

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant providing daytime visits in Brighton. You’ll help people stay independent at home with personal care, meal preparation, prompting medication and running errands. Work is with people in their own homes across Brighton and Hove and surrounding areas. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities through PrimeCarers, not one specific role. The work suits carers who want more control than agency shifts allow: you choose which clients to accept, which hours to work and the area you cover. Many carers value the variety of daytime visits — short regular calls, longer visits for personal care, and occasional shopping or companionship calls. Brighton offers a mix of older adults and families who need reliable, respectful support.

Set your own rates and keep control of your work pattern. Typical rates on the platform are £19–£21 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. You remain self-employed so you decide when and where you work, and which jobs to accept.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically appear within days of verification, ready for clients to view.

Many carers who move from agencies to PrimeCarers say they appreciate the trust and continuity they can build with clients, and the ability to plan life around work rather than the other way round. If you know the Brighton neighbourhoods well — from Hove to Kemptown, or nearby places such as Hove, Southwick, Telscombe, Shoreham by Sea, Peacehaven and Lewes — you can limit your travel and focus on the people you prefer to support.

If you’re an experienced carer ready for more flexibility and a clearer working arrangement, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a quick first step. You remain self-employed, pick the jobs you want, and we take care of client matching and the admin so you can get on with the care.
