Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Holborn

Working as a self-employed hourly care assistant in Holborn gives you real control over your workday — choose clients, set your own rates and plan visits that fit your life. PrimeCarers finds local families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Right now, 137 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are daytime, hourly home care visits in clients' own homes across Holborn and the surrounding streets. Typical tasks include personal care (washing, dressing), preparing meals, medication prompts, companionship and light errands. You’ll work with adults who want help to stay independent at home; if you prefer hands-on care and building relationships over time, these roles will suit you.

You set your own price per hour and choose which clients to accept. Many carers on the platform advertise within £18.80–£21 per hour and decide their availability week by week. You select the hours you want, the service area you cover and the kind of visits you take — short morning calls, longer afternoon support or a mix. Holborn city routes are compact, making travel between visits straightforward, and nearby areas like Aldwych, Temple, Farringdon, Lee, Covent Garden and St Giles often have linked bookings.

This way of working suits experienced carers who are ready to move away from agency schedules and want more control. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. We verify your documents, then your profile typically goes live within days of checks being completed.

PrimeCarers makes administration simple: we introduce you to clients, handle the contracts and invoicing, manage payments and include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed — you agree terms directly with families and keep the independence that comes with setting your hours. Many carers who cover Holborn also pick up work slightly further afield in Camden and nearby neighbourhoods to build fuller weeks.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload references and your DBS (if you have one), and you’ll hear from us about verification. Profiles that pass checks usually appear live within days, and then you can review client requests and accept the visits you want. If you’re an experienced carer looking for daytime, hourly work in Holborn and the surrounding area, PrimeCarers offers a straightforward, flexible route to independent care work.
