Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Clapham

Looking for hourly home care work in Clapham that fits your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need daytime visits for personal care, meal support, medication prompts and errands. You choose the clients you want, the hours you work and the area you cover, and you set your own rate. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits are daytime hourly care in people’s own homes — helping with washing and dressing, continence support, preparing meals, supporting with medication routines and running short errands or appointments. This is practical, hands-on work that suits carers who value continuity, time with each client and the chance to use their skills without agency rota pressures. Many carers who work with us cover Clapham and nearby areas such as Clapham Common, Stockwell, Brixton, Westside, Battersea Park and Nine Elms.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hourly rate and keep control of your earnings and schedule. Typical rates on our platform fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, and you can choose which clients and shifts match the hours you want. We list both hourly and live-in opportunities across our site — for reference we display £18.80–£20 per hour for short visits and £145–£160 per day for longer day rates where relevant.

How PrimeCarers helps: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working through bookings we manage. That means less admin for you and more time delivering care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days after verification — perfect if you’re ready to leave agency rotas but don’t want to take on all the paperwork alone.

Requirements to join

• At least one year of professional care experience.
