Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Chichester

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed hourly care assistant providing daytime visits across Chichester. You’ll support people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication reminders and errands, choosing the clients and hours that suit you while setting your own rates. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical shifts are short daytime visits or a series of calls through the day, focused on practical, hands-on support: washing, dressing, mealtime help, prompting or administering medication as agreed, and accompanying or running light errands. Work takes place in people's homes across Chichester and the wider area including Woodgate, Bognor Regis, Emsworth, Selsey, Havant and Arundel, with opportunities right across West Sussex. You set the rate you charge; many carers on PrimeCarers use the independent market to earn within £18.80–£21.50 per hour while keeping full control over their diary.

This is a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control than agency work usually allows. You’ll be self-employed, choosing which clients to accept and which neighbourhoods to cover. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your paperwork before your profile goes live.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. While you’re working on a booked job you’re covered by the platform’s insurance. Because carers set their own hours and service area, many people find they get the flexibility they wanted without the admin. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification in Chichester.

There’s no single advertised role here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Chichester. If you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency life and take more control, create your PrimeCarers profile, complete the checks and start choosing the daytime visits that suit you. It’s straightforward, honest work making a real difference to people living at home.
