Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Harlow

Looking for daytime hourly home care work in Harlow that gives you control and respect for your experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with local families for visits that focus on personal care, meal prep, medication prompts and errands. You’ll be arranging short daytime visits in people’s own homes, building relationships rather than filling rotas. Right now, 78 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical work includes helping with personal care (washing, dressing and continence support), preparing meals, prompting or supporting medication, companionship and getting out for appointments or shopping. Visits are usually hourly, flexible and planned around what the client needs. Many carers who choose PrimeCarers do this to keep doing hands-on care while avoiding agency rota pressure.

Working through PrimeCarers suits experienced carers who want more control. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates and availability, so you decide which clients to accept, which hours to work and how far you’ll travel across Harlow and nearby areas such as Sawbridgeworth, Hoddesdon, Epping, Broxbourne, Ware and Waltham Abbey. PrimeCarers handles client-matching, contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you’re working on a booking.

Pay and flexibility: You set your own rate (typical £18.80–£20 per hour). Set daytime availability that suits you and pick the visits you want to do. We never promise a fixed income — this page advertises ongoing opportunities rather than a single post — but many carers find the extra control over hours and clients a better fit than agency work.

What we need from you:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers supports you with the paperwork so you can get back to care: we help verify documents, create contracts, manage invoices and take care of payments. Profile setup takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Harlow or elsewhere in Essex and want to be more independent while staying connected to local families, this can be the change you’ve been looking for.
