Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Burnt Oak

Looking for regular daytime hourly home care work around Burnt Oak and Enfield? These roles focus on short daytime visits in people’s own homes to help with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and small errands. You’ll visit clients for hourly shifts, supporting independence and routine rather than long overnight stays. Right now, 208 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for experienced carers who want to move away from agency constraints and take control of their work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose the clients you accept and pick the area you cover — whether that’s central Burnt Oak or nearby streets. You decide your rate and availability; typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working on a booking. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork — but you remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any booking.

Typical duties during daytime hourly visits include:

• Personal care: support with washing, dressing and mobility.
• Meals: helping with light meal prep and mealtime assistance.
• Medication: prompting and reminders (not administering clinical procedures unless you’re qualified and it’s agreed).
• Errands: collecting shopping, posting letters or short accompanied walks.

Requirements to join are practical and straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don't have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We check references and documentation before profiles go live.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once approved, you can review local requests and accept the ones that fit your availability and skills. Many carers choose to work across Burnt Oak and neighbouring areas such as Edgware, Grahame Park, The Hale, Mill Hill, Colindale and Kingsbury to build a steady set of daytime visits.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. If you want predictable daytime hours, more control over pay and the support of a platform that handles admin and insurance, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step — it’s quick to apply and you stay in charge of your work.
