Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Lye

Hourly daytime home care for older or disabled people in their own homes — helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts, and errands. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities are ideal if you want to move away from agency rotas and manage your own work across Lye, West Midlands. Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you choose the clients you visit, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Shifts are hourly daytime visits: short calls, longer personal‑care calls or regular daily support depending on what suits you and the family. You set your own rate and keep control of your diary, with typical rates shown as £18.50–£20 per hour.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more flexibility and a fairer relationship with the people they support. If you have at least one year’s professional care experience and enjoy one‑to‑one work in people’s homes, this could be a better way to work across Lye and nearby towns such as Cradley Heath, Stourbridge, Brierley Hill, Halesowen, Netherton and Rowley Regis.

What you need to join

• Experience: At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one.
• Right to work: You must have the right to work in the UK.
• References: Verifiable references from recent care roles.

PrimeCarers supports self‑employed carers by finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. That means less paperwork for you and more time with the people you care for. You remain self‑employed, choose who you work for and set your own hours and rates.

Practical points: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You won’t be tied to fixed rotas — accept work that fits your life. Many carers who have left agency work find they take fewer, better‑matched visits and enjoy greater continuity of care for clients across Lye and the rest of the West Midlands.
