Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Northam

If you’re an experienced carer in Northam offering daytime hourly home care — personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and errands — PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families while you stay self-employed and in control. You set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area, and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments with insurance included while you work. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Northam and the surrounding area of Devon. Hourly care visits are typically daytime calls: washing and dressing, mealtime support, medication prompting, companionship and short errands such as shopping or collecting prescriptions. You’ll decide whether you accept one-off visits or regular daytime rounds, and you keep the flexibility to fit care around your life. Typical pay for this type of work sits around £19–£20 per hour.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas but keep the variety and reward of home-based visits. If you already have strong people skills, reliable travel around Northam and a knack for practical, compassionate support, this could be a good fit. You’ll build relationships with clients while choosing the balance of work you want.

• Minimum experience: At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks & documentation: An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
• Right to work: You must have the right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles the contract and invoicing paperwork, collects payments and provides insurance while you are working with a client. That means you keep the independence of self-employment without needing to manage billing or legal paperwork yourself. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification.

We work with carers across Northam and nearby towns including Bideford, Great Torrington, Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, Hartland and Highampton. If you’re ready to take more control of your hours and earnings, create a profile, upload your references and DBS details (or ask us to help), and start choosing daytime hourly visits that suit you.
