Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Dunstable

Work daytime hourly visits across Dunstable, supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. This role suits carers who prefer hands-on, one-to-one support and who value doing meaningful work on their own terms. Right now, 33 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Hour-by-hour care can look different each day: some clients need help getting up, dressing and personal care, others need support with meals, taking medication, shopping or short trips out for appointments. You’ll spend time with people in their homes across Dunstable and Houghton Regis, Woodside, Leighton Buzzard, Linslade, Woburn and Flitwick, building trust and practical routines that keep clients safe and comfortable.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity for experienced carers who want flexibility and clarity. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates, choose your clients, choose the hours you accept and define your service area. Many carers set rates in the typical range of £18.80–£21 per hour and combine daytime visits to suit family life or other commitments. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Who this suits: if you have at least a year of professional care experience, want to move away from rota-driven agency life and prefer predictable daytime visiting work, this could be a good fit. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We will verify these before your profile goes live.

Practical points: PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with client introductions, written contracts and a simple payments system so you don’t have to chase invoices. Insurance is included while you’re booked through PrimeCarers. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start choosing shifts across Dunstable and other parts of Bedfordshire quickly.

How to apply: create your profile in a few minutes, upload references and DBS details (or let us help with the check) and tell us the hours and areas you prefer. Once verified, you’ll see client introductions and can accept bookings that suit you. If you’re an experienced carer ready to take more control of your work in Dunstable, set your terms and start on your own schedule with PrimeCarers.
