Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Felixstowe

Work as a self‑employed hourly care assistant visiting people in their own homes across Felixstowe and the surrounding area. Daytime visits typically cover personal care, support with meals, help with medication and light errands — the kind of hands‑on, reliable support that keeps people independent where they want to be. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

With PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £19–£21.90 per hour depending on the care required and your experience. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This work suits experienced carers who value autonomy and clear daytime routines. If you’ve spent time in agency roles and want control over when and where you work in Felixstowe — or in nearby towns such as Harwich, Parkeston, Dovercourt, Kesgrave, Walton on the Naze and Woodbridge — this is designed for you. It’s also a good fit if you want to balance care work with family life, other freelance work or study in Suffolk.

You can apply in minutes. Profiles typically go live within days of verification.
