Description

Work as an hourly care assistant supporting people in their own homes across Broadstairs. Daytime visits typically cover personal care, meal support, medication prompts and errands — short, regular calls that fit around family life. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves:

  • Personal care: washing, dressing and continence support with dignity and respect.
  • Meals and nutrition: preparing meals, supporting eating and following dietary guidance.
  • Medication and prompts: assisting with medicines as prescribed and reporting any concerns.
  • Practical help: errands, shopping, light domestic tasks and companionship during visits.

This work suits experienced carers who want control over their day. On PrimeCarers you work self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates — typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour. You’ll commonly see hourly roles in the £18.80–£20 per hour and occasional live-in day work shown as £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers removes much of the admin that can make self-employment daunting. We find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working, insurance is included. If you need an Enhanced DBS check we can help arrange it, and our verification team will get your profile live quickly.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through the checks so you can focus on care.
