Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Horsham

If you’re an experienced carer based in Horsham looking to move away from the limits of agency life, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families needing daytime, hourly support in their own homes. You’ll be offering personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands on short daytime visits — the kind of practical, person-centred work many of us prefer.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical rates for this kind of role sit around £19–£22 per hour. We find you clients and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work through the platform.

This role suits carers who value flexibility and direct relationships with families. You’ll visit people in their own homes across Horsham and the surrounding area, including Crawley, Cuckfield, Horley, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and Dorking. Shifts are usually daytime and hourly: helping with washing and dressing, supporting mobility, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication according to instructions, and running essential errands.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced, professional carers ready to work independently but not alone. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one). We verify your documentation, then your profile typically goes live within days so you can start taking bookings across Horsham and wider West Sussex.

Switching to self-employment through PrimeCarers doesn’t mean you handle every admin task. We manage client matching, contracts, invoicing and prompt payments. You remain in control of your diary and who you accept, and you keep the flexibility to work part-time around other commitments.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify everything. Expect your profile to go live within days of verification. If you want to discuss how this could work for your existing commitments in Horsham or elsewhere in West Sussex, our team is happy to chat.
